Pros

Let's just say I Love Love this company. This was my first startup and coming from larger companies ranging from 5,000 employees to as big as 60,000 employees. I was part of the Finance team and I must say the team is great! Management is bright and they are actually very supportive. Everyone is really smart and got along very well. We are all busy but people are willing to help each other out. I actually had a very general image of starts up, where everyone works a lot. That is not true at New Relic. Yes there are some days where you may put in extra hours but 80% of the time it was average and manageable. There were so many fun events at New Relic that it made work very enjoyable. From the monthly party to the sales kick off events. It was all very fun. I can't decide if the futurestack party of the Holiday party was better. Both was beyond epic. But besides from the actual events the people made it more enjoyable. At a big company I would definitely have to worry about what I say or how I act, however at New Relic I felt I can be myself without being judged. Another great thing about New Relic is the growth! Holy moly there are a lot of people that got multiple promotions. So yes if you work hard people do acknowledge your hard work. Couple sales manager got promoted, a lot of Finance people got promoted, if not all that stayed more than 1-1.5 years, sales operations got promotion too. Promotion left and right but I felt it was all well deserved as they worked hard. Sadly I'm no longer working at New Relic, mainly because I got a better offer somewhere else. But everything else about them is a plus.

Cons

Not everyone was promoted in the same amount of time, I feel this is more due to the position rather than how much had work was put in

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.

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.
