      Pros

      Good view in PDX, good snacks, peerless IT and workspace management departments.

      Cons

      Passion and boldness outweigh thoughtfulness and courtesy. Velocity is valued above all else. Customers are emphatically and explicitly prioritized above employees. Authenticity and connectedness are thrown away when times get tough. Clearly broken solutions persist; getting time to re-write, let alone competently architect, is extremely difficult. A lack of shared standards has yielded a blinding array of technical debt. Teams are sometimes left out of architectural discussions.

      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.
