Best Company that I've ever worked for

Business Outlook

Pros

I enjoy the people that I work with. Great work-life balance to make progress on personal goals. I feel like I do make an impact towards the company's goals. The company trusts its employees to do the right thing. We're not micro-managed. During corona-virus times, WPEngine did the right thing to look after the health of its employees and offer help however it can. WPEngine follows agile principles better than any company I've ever seen. Our leadership is open and honest about answering all questions (even negative questions), and we dedicate time to do this often. Have I mentioned how much I like the people here? They become great friends.

Cons

WPEngine glorifies Amazon and Google too much. I've referred many people to work at WPEngine; WPEngine has never hired any of them. If WPEngine decides to no longer pursue a candidate, they don't give them any feedback. Career growth is mostly politics. Not terrible, but not great. Balancing new features vs maintaining current systems has been a struggle at every company that I've seen, including this one.
