      Pros

      Great benefits and decent pay

      Cons

      I came on during the cultural decline in mid-2019. This place was once a great place to work but has since become more and more toxic. Work/life balance has been on the decline as well. A lot of amazing folks are leaving or have left within the past year, and I expect that trend to continue. I was lucky to have a great manager and team for a bit, but even when I was there I found very few teams I'd actually want to be on as a female engineer.

      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.
