Pros

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

Kontras

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

Lots of support from management. I always felt like I was heard. Plenty of support from my teammates. The CEO is an amazing person.

Kontras

Customers only reach out because there are issues with their sites; causing them to be upset most of the time. Tough job if you are not used to remote work.

We appreciate you taking the time to share such a thoughtful review. While we're glad you had an overall positive experience in regards to feeling supported by your manager, teammates, and feel Heather, our CEO is an amazing person. We agree! We are sorry to hear you didn't feel like there were opportunities for promotions.

Pros

• Good people • Good work/life balance and flexibility - remote first with local hubs for those living nearby • Interesting work and ownership of solutions • Core values are good ideals

Kontras

• Yearly "re-orgs" include layoffs, so while you think your job is secure, it could be unexpectedly eliminated overnight - managers included • Overly focused on profit over employees or customer experience (e.g. benefit programs being cut and diminishing investment into human support, which used to be the lifeblood of the company) - possible consequence of private equity / Silver Lake • No one goes into the office, so even if you're near a hub, there's not a lot of actual face time working next to people and it's difficult to get to know people outside of your team and directly-associated teams • They're not interested in keeping or training up early-career software engineers, which seems very short-sighted and goes against "built for growth" • With the laser focus on the next shiny thing, tech debt and cruft accumulate faster than can be addressed, and the context behind older systems fades over time making them progressively harder to maintain or migrate off
