      Pros

      Good snacks and coffee, nice modern office and the option to work from home is a plus. Downtown office location is pretty sweet.

      Cons

      Toxic bully managers abound and aren't kept in check by upper management, who seems only concerned with the bottom line. Although the company values say that the work culture is connected and enlightened, it is actually more often run by fear and shaming others if they speak up about maltreatment by managers. Women and minorities face multiple obstacles to promotion and end up leaving the company to pursue other jobs.

      Thank you for your post. I am new to the New Relic family, an organization I already love after only a few weeks, and I'm disheartened to hear of your experience. As our CEO Lew Cirne shared in an open letter regarding diversity and inclusion, “Our commitment to being bold, passionate, authentic, accountable, and connected is what makes us a different kind of company. These are our values. These are what make us Relics. No matter who you are—your background, race, gender, religion or sexual orientation—you are here to help us achieve our mission. You are important. You have a voice.” We want you to feel safe and empowered to do your best work here. In order to act on this feedback, which I want to do, I need to know more. Please do come find me directly to discuss - my door is open. Please let me know how I can support you.

      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.
