Pros

Autonomy and Work Life Balance

Cons

Employees have been waiting for years to see if they go public or get bought. Seems like it's taking forever. Also, they have had 2 rounds of layoffs in the last year (although small) which has hurt morale.

Thank you for sharing your experience with us as it guides our growth as a company. We're really glad to hear you felt you had a healthy work-life balance and the autonomy you needed to do your job well. While we continue to grow and invest in talent and technology, we restructured to further align our investments to our business strategy. This also required us to make a difficult talent prioritization to eliminate roles that impacted a small percentage of our employees. We obviously value the contribution of our employees and the decision was not taken lightly. We are supporting those who are impacted with access to potential new opportunities inside WP Engine along with career coaching, job placement services, and transition financial support. Thank you for your contributions to WP Engine and for taking the time to share your feedback, we wish you the very 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.

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.

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!

Pros

-Fully remote so can work from home -Work/life balance is great, I never take work stress with me after I log off.

Cons

-Management is unwilling to make changes at times, even when something can be optimized. -Some days can feel like you are overworked due to not enough staff to cover support queues
