Avantages

- A company shows its mettle during a crisis. I've seen people (top down) show some of the strongest ethics, maturity, and courage imaginable in the last 6 months. - Heather is a gifted and serious leader. I genuinely believe that most of the good things about WPE cascade from her leadership and high quality hiring. - Some of the smartest and most genuinely talented folks I've worked with. - Remote-first culture, with no indication that an RTO mandate is around the corner. - People celebrate accomplishments ALL THE TIME at WPE. - While nowhere near top-of-market, the compensation and benefits are fair. With tech companies doing hard cultural pivots, WPE has such a distinct quality of life advantage right now that makes up for leaving a little money on the table.

Inconvénients

- Big one: the uncertainty that we live with in the wake of Matt Mullenweg's unhinged behavior, both toward WPE and toward the WordPress ecosystem in general. Causes a lot of unnecessary anxiety. - For teams that aren't near an office hub, it's been hard to get budget approval to travel for IRL meetups. - Restructuring that has resulted in layoffs last year also caused a fair amount of anxiety for employees. - Career growth opportunities are limited lately. Probably true everywhere, but when you're not in hyper-growth mode, there just aren't many spots available to grow into. - Leadership in WordPress seems dedicated to making all the wrong decisions. At best, they're committed to throwing good money after bad on a visual/block editor (Gutenberg) while mostly ignoring improvements to the CMS, and at worst they are intentionally antagonizing their engaged user and developer community. WPE should probably figure out a way to diversify our product lines.

We sincerely appreciate you leaving such thoughtful and insightful feedback! We're so glad to hear you've had such a positive experience with things like our response to recent events, our CEO Heather (we agree, she rocks), our virtual-first work model and benefits we provide, and of course the people we have the privilege of working alongside every day. Our virtual-first hybrid model create some challenges in regards to bringing people together, but we're actively exploring opportunities for teams to connect and hope to provide more chances for them to come together in person. We kicked off 2025 with an initiative called "Vision, Values, Victory" which aims to ensure all employees at WP Engine understand our business goals and how we plan to get to there. It's our hope that this new framing will allow everyone to see how their work fits into the bigger picture. This year we're providing a number of workshops for both managers and individual contributors with the goal of ensuring everyone at WP Engine can grow their career, if you haven't done so we'd encourage you to take a look at these offerings and sign up for any workshops that might be applicable to your own career aspirations. If you ever have more feedback to share, positive or constructive, we'd encourage you to reach out to your EE Business Partner as we're always looking for feedback so we can all thrive together. Thank you again for sharing such thoughtful feedback, we're very glad to have you here at WP Engine!

Avantages

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

Inconvénients

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.
