      Pros

      Tech skills , and hybrid mode

      Cons

      Managers are workaholic and they expect same from employees. Working extra hours and on weekends is normal here and part of work culture. Also, you have 24*7 oncall for which you get no extra payment. In india, they are abusing legal rules and making employee work for free for these oncall. Someone should file a legal complaint to make new relic educated and legal compliance.

      Pros

      New Relic truly walks the walk. I love that the company leans into a Challenger Mindset; it creates a dynamic where we are always improving and staying ahead of the curve. Even as a new hire, my perspective feels valued. Beyond the tech, the culture is unprecedented. Everyone is incredibly helpful and stays Accountable to one another. It’s rare to find a place that is this friendly while still maintaining a high bar for getting work done.

      Cons

      Still in the honeymoon phase, but navigating the vast amount of internal documentation can be a bit of a whirlwind during the first month; definitely feel like "drinking from a fire hose." While the team is supportive, the sheer volume of information can be overwhelming for a newcomer.

      Pros

      Man, this was a great company back in the day. Almost everyone is gone now.

      Cons

      Horrific middle management. This was all a long time ago though. The people I worked with are all gone.
