WP Engine has been recognized as no. 8 on the list of 25 Highest Rated Private Cloud Computing Companies To Work For by Battery Ventures<\/a>. The global investment firm and cloud investor used data, regarding how companies have handled issues like remote work amid the broader economic downturn, specifically provided by Glassdoor<\/a> to establish its rankings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The recognition is a testament to WP Engine\u2019s employee and cultural resilience, reporting high levels of satisfaction at work, despite challenging conditions as a result of the pandemic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

WP Engine\u2019s overall rating is 4.6 on Glassdoor, where the broader average across the site is 3.5. Additionally, WP Engine\u2019s senior-leadership rating on Glassdoor is 4.7, compared to an average of 3.2, while its positive business-outlook rating (which indicates the percentage of employees who believe their employer\u2019s business will get better in the next six months) is 92%, compared to the Glassdoor average of 51%.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe are incredibly honored and humbled to be included on the Battery Ventures list,\u201d said Heather Brunner, CEO and Chairwoman at WP Engine. \u201cThis list includes some of the best and brightest companies in the tech industry. Our inclusion is a testament to our global team living our core values<\/a> every day, in everything we do. These core values are the foundation of WP Engine and have helped us build a lasting legacy of striving to Do the Right Thing for our employees and customers.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

While WP Engine has focused internally on keeping employees connected and set-up for remote success during the pandemic, its employees have taken it upon themselves to step up during this challenging time and give back to the communities where they live and work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As part of WP Engine\u2019s corporate social responsibility program, Engine for Good,<\/a> employees have given generously to more than 20 causes providing Covid relief or addressing social injustice. Embodying the core value, \u201cCommitted to Give Back.\u201d employees and WP Engine have donated more than $265,000 globally to organizations like Black Girls Code, Doctors Without Borders\/ M\u00e9decins Sans Fronti\u00e8res (MSF<\/a>), and Rize Up<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This commitment to values, having a strong and unique company culture; promoting transparency; regular and clear communication with employees; and working for mission-driven companies is commonly mentioned in high ratings on Glassdoor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For instance, according to one anonymous employee review of WP Engine on Glassdoor: <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBest company I\u2019ve ever worked for. Incredible leadership team including the best CEO in the business. Huge market opportunity and the market leader. Great benefits, transparent and amazing coworkers. A company that really cares about its people and the culture.\u201d<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The rankings also highlight the potential links between positive company culture and overall corporate performance and growth, according to Neeraj Agrawal, a Battery general partner who specializes in cloud investing. This year, 10 of the top 25 private companies announced financing rounds during the pandemic worth more than $1.9 billion combined, according to Crunchbase.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cCloud CEOs have had to stay unbelievably focused, resilient, and nimble over the last eight months, working in conditions they likely never expected,\u201d Agrawal said. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe best CEOs are listening to employees and making tough decisions that will continue to move their companies forward. We\u2019re heartened that so many of these B2B companies are surviving and even thriving during Covid, as they\u2019re providing technologies to serve the new, pandemic workforce, as well as solutions that are digitizing customer businesses faster than ever. Every company that made the list this year should view it as an honor to be included.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n
