Hello and thank you for taking the time to share your experience thus far at WP Engine. We're glad to hear you're enjoying our culture and the people you get to work with each day, as that's core to so much of what we do! In regards to career development, within Sales we offer a self-taught program we call "path to success", where employees have the chance to up skill asynchronously with support of their manager. We've recently made more investments in tools and bespoke training programs to ensure different topics and skillsets are being covered throughout the year. We also offer the chance to shadow colleagues to learn more about what skills you might need to move up within the organization over time. We're always looking for ways to improve these programs and offer even more opportunities for people to grow and develop skills at WP Engine. If you haven't already done so, we'd encourage you to speak with your manager so that you can share your experience and explore development programs already available to you. Additionally, your Employee Experience Business Partner is always available to learn more about your goals and aspirations and note your feedback on things we can do to support these efforts even more going forward. Thanks again for taking the time share your experience!

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

-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
