Pros

I truly appreciate the flexible working culture here, as it creates a healthy balance between professional responsibilities and personal life. The environment feels supportive and respectful, and that makes it easier to stay motivated and productive. I also find the compensation to be fair and aligned with the work expectations, which adds to the overall positive experience. One of the standout aspects is the amazing food service. The lunch options are really good, and the availability of snacks and the fresh shop makes the office experience even more convenient and enjoyable. It’s a thoughtful benefit that employees genuinely value on a day-to-day basis. The workplace culture also stands out because of the engaging celebrations and activities throughout the year. Events like Family Day, Christmas celebrations, Onam, and other occasions help bring people together and create a warm, inclusive, and family-like atmosphere. These moments make the organization feel more connected and people-oriented. In addition, the office support is efficient and reliable, which helps keep daily operations smooth. The open office setup is another plus, as it feels fresh, welcoming, and collaborative. Overall, it is a positive place to work with a good mix of flexibility, support, comfort, and employee engagement.

Cons

While there are several positive aspects of the company, there are also a few areas that need improvement. The HR system still feels a bit old school and could benefit from a more modern, employee-friendly approach. Although the benefits are good, the administrative support behind them feels quite limited at times, with a lack of depth in knowledge and a rather superficial handling of queries. In many cases, the team appears very busy, which can make it difficult to get timely and effective support. The lady who joined new feels that she knows everything. Another challenge is that managers above my grade often seem to be under pressure from global expectations, but there is not always enough clarity in terms of goals, priorities, or execution. This can create confusion and make alignment more difficult at the team level. Commute and infrastructure are also areas that could be better supported. Office transport is not provided, and parking is very limited, which can make the daily travel experience inconvenient for employees. Overall, while the company has many good qualities, these operational and support-related gaps affect the employee experience and would benefit from attention.

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.

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