I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at WP Engine (Austin, TX) in Mar 2019
Interview
Interview process was seamless and quick. One interview with the recruiter, then hiring manager and with a panel of cross functional stakeholders. The whole process took a few weeks. The engineering team is not very efficient and I personally felt like they were pretty nasty in the interview. The company has a lot of potential, but the engineering leadership is beyond terrible and inexperienced.

I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at WP Engine (Limerick, Limerick) in Nov 2020
Interview
Chaotic, disjointed, up and down. I dealt with several recruiters and there were a lot of gaps. The main hiring manager GM wanted to hire me but it was blocked by others who seemed to feel threatened by me being more senior than them
