Pros

Great people: very smart but never arrogant; collaborative, open. Every department is highly competent and really knows how to do their job. Fun perks without being over the top. Good benefits except 401k. Stock options in near certain IPO event. If you are a developer, it's a very cool and satisfying problem set and you get to meet the cognoscenti of the software development industry. Awesome location in downtown Portland with transit connections to everywhere. On floor bike parking.

Cons

401k does not match and funds have high expenses. Customer growth is explosive the company is very picky about hiring so sometimes key positions go unfilled for longer than one would like with so much to do..

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.
