No longer a growth company

Director
Recommend
CEO approval
Business Outlook

Pros

Fun company culture. Committed, accessible and high energy woman CEO. Diversity and inclusion. Talented and dedicated team members.

Cons

Profits are prioritized over growth and employee well-being. Despite record profits, no bonuses were given in 2023. Stock valuation has been declining for years, making stock options unprofitable. Pay is below the market rate. Many incompetent executives. Most roles are moving out of US, significantly limiting growth for US team members. High attrition in the last few years.

We appreciate you taking the time to share about your experience when working at WP Engine. We're glad to hear you enjoyed our culture, DEI efforts, the people you worked with as well as our CEO, Heather. We're concerned to hear you felt like we were more focused on profit than the wellbeing of our people, we've made many investments in wellness over the last few years and certainly wouldn't want this to be the experience of anybody working at WP Engine. We're proud of our leaders and the work they put in every day to ensure we're continuing to grow and thrive together. In regards to pay, WP Engine's compensation philosophy is to pay competitive to market based on cost of talent vs cost of living. We utilize salary surveys to review our salary ranges on an annual basis and then conduct an annual salary planning review for merit-based increases. We know you're no longer working at WP Engine, but if you have any more feedback to share we'd encourage you to reach out to our Employee Experience Team. We wish you the best in future endeavors.

Pros

Great Benefits Work like balance for those not in leadership or account management Team members are awesome to work with

Cons

90% of the good leaders have left the org Recreating the wheel due to turnover Culture has taken a hit due to internal churn Take forever to get compensation adjustments Used to support growing into other departments- now theres only one path. Hard to trust leadership in the entry level role.

Hello and thank you for taking the time to share your experience and feedback. While we're glad to hear you've had such a positive experience with our benefits, work/life balance, and the people here are so wonderful to work with, we're really sorry to hear your concerns about our culture, growth and development, and retention here at WP Engine. While a certain amount of turnover is healthy and expected in any business, ours is below the industry standard. If you're comfortable doing so, we'd encourage you to reach out to your EEBP, our DEI Team, or anyone else on the EE Leadership Team to share more about your experience so we can work to address these concerns. Thank you so much again for taking the time to share, we hope to hear from you.

Hello and thank you for taking the time to provide us feedback. We are glad to hear you feel so confident about the quality of our product and that we have a transparent culture with opportunities to stretch and grow your career, but your feedback related to unfair treatment is concerning, as we are committed to fostering a workplace where every employee is treated fairly regardless of race, gender, orientation, location, etc. We encourage you to reach out to your EEBP, our DEI Team, or anyone else on the EE Leadership Team to share more details so we can quickly address your concerns. Thank you so much again for taking the time to share, we hope to hear from you!
