Pros

The experience was consistently disappointing and at times outright demoralizing. Nothing about the culture, leadership, or day-to-day work resembled a healthy or professionally managed environment. If there were any “pros,” I never saw them — the entire experience left me with a thoroughly unpleasant and frankly disgusting impression.

Cons

Too many cons to list — nearly every aspect of the experience was a letdown.

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.
