Pros
- New Relic is an incredibly high-energy, exciting company filled with smart people who are willing to work until they drop from exhaustion - Everyone I worked was incredibly ambitious especially in SF - I got to work across the business with a variety of folks - Lots of cool projects to own - Technology choices were strange but definitely workable - I grew more here than I think I have at any other job.
Cons
- Promises of culture were not lived up to for me. Long hours were common as was working through lunch (lunch meetings were a must for everyone I worked with). - Tensions seemed to always be super high and everyone reacted to it differently (we're talking months of tension, not hours or days). Some people would play the blame game, others would check out, and many would get really upset with other employees. There were a million other little things but for me that's what it boiled down to. Culture didn't match what everyone wanted and as far as I could tell it pointed at one C-level exec in particular.
