Pros

Working here has been one of the best career decisions I’ve made. From day one, I’ve felt encouraged to take on new challenges, develop my skills, and grow both professionally and personally. The leadership team genuinely invests in employees’ success — through mentorship, training opportunities, and clear pathways for advancement. What I appreciate most is the collaborative environment. Everyone is open to sharing knowledge, celebrating wins, and supporting each other when things get tough. It’s a place where your contributions are noticed, and your career goals are taken seriously. Because of this, I’ve been able to achieve meaningful career growth and expand into new responsibilities that I wouldn’t have imagined a few years ago. I also enjoy the positive culture, where work-life balance is respected and new ideas are welcomed. Pros: Strong focus on career development Supportive leadership and team culture Opportunities to take on meaningful challenges Respect for work-life balance

Cons

Fast-paced environment (which can be challenging, but rewarding if you enjoy growth)

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.

Cons

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. We know you no longer work here at WP Engine, but if you have any other thoughts you'd like to share so that we can learn more about what could've gone better, you're welcome to reach out to anybody on our Employee Experience Team to do so. Thank you again and we wish you the best in future endeavors.

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

Cons

• 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

Thank you for taking the time to share such thoughtful and detailed feedback. We're glad to hear that you value the people, flexibility, work-life balance, interesting work, and opportunity for ownership. We also appreciate your recognition of our core values and the ideals they represent. We're sorry that your experience has left you feeling that employees are less valued and that the sense of shared purpose and community has diminished. Organizational change, shifting priorities, and changes to programs and investments can understandably affect trust, connection, and sense of stability. We view development and growth opportunities as central to all roles and levels, and encourage employees to have an open dialogue with their Manager about career goals on a regular basis. Thank you again for sharing your perspective. We value feedback that helps us understand both what is working and where the employee experience needs greater attention. If you are comfortable doing so, please contact your Employee Experience Business Partner or anyone on the EE team to help us learn more.
