Pros

This is *the* place to be right now if you like working with and for developers. The new BCN office is great. Tons of perks and very competitive salary. Fantastic set of internal tools and processes. You get to travel to the US - which is cool. Also, the company values rock, and you can tell people are keeping them up every day. The biggest pro is work/life balance: it's simply excellent!

Cons

The onboarding process could be smoother: there's lots of very smart people working for NR, and getting in translates to lots of self-imposed pressure and a desire for diving into the complexities of the product from day one. That includes learning to adjust your own schedule when working with teams based in Portland of San Francisco - which takes a bit to get used to.

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.
