I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at New Relic (Portland, OR) in Oct 2019
Interview
The interview process starts with a phone screen, then a one on one with the hiring manager, a HW assignment, and lastly a panel to meet the team. I could not be happier with the interview process, recruiters are prompt, honest and fast. The PeopleOps team here is simply A+.
My journey was somewhat atypical, as I interviewed for a position in SF for a senior PM first. I did not have enough experience for that particular role, however the team liked me and thought i'd be a great fit, so the recruiter encouraged me to apply to another position. The recruiter went above and beyond in trying to find a fit for me.
Interview questions are relevant and mostly experiential to gauge fit . There are no trick questions, which in my opinion does not really indicate how well an employee will perform.
Overall, I am very excited to join New Relic and I feel the overall company culture here is extremely positive.

Question 1
Describe a challenge where you conflicted with engineers? How did you solve it?
I applied online. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at New Relic (Boston, MA) in Jun 2022
Interview
The process was very slow, taking three months. There were 5 weeks between when I applied and when I talked to HR. Then there were another 5 weeks before I talked to the hiring manager. Then another 1 1/2 weeks before the next round. I was rejected at that point, but there would have been another 3 rounds if I had been successful (including a take-home assignment and group presentation) - who knows how long that would have taken.
The "product" part of the interview was about how I would monetize dashboard software for the "car of the future." I was given no information and 20 minutes to come up with something. I don't drive. I've never been inside a self-driving car (which was eventual stated to be what was meant by "car of the future") so all I could do was guess. And I suppose I guessed poorly.
For all the talk about PMs needing to use data and be "customer driven" the interview process is so many companies is really focused on hiring people with excellent BS skills.

Positive interview process overall. Friendly panel and responsive recruiters. It was a genuinely refreshing process and ended up being a big selling point for why I joined New Relic. Come prepared with stories and be ready to speak to the details.

I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at New Relic
Interview
I applied online and was contacted by a recruiter to set up a phone screen. A few days after the initial phone screen, I had an hour long interview with the hiring manager. Shortly thereafter, I was given 48 hours to complete a take home assignment. The final step in the process was a day long panel interview consisting of conversations with cross-functional leaders within the organization.
