Pros

Gorgeous offices, nice snacks, unlimited FTO

Cons

Micromanagement among mid- and senior-level managers, leads to distrust of employees and bullying behavior. Belittling of very experienced team members does nothing except alienate and discourage teams. Rampant turnover due to both attrition and recent layoffs - too many talented people are gone throughout the company. No transparency, unrealistic expectations with budget cuts and lack of resources. No career growth when new hires are brought in with inflated titles. New Relic used to have an authentic "people culture." With countless reorgs and new management (with minimal experience), New Relic has sadly deteriorated. One of the worst tech companies I've worked for in 20+ years.

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.

Pros

Good PTO policy Most coworkers are nice

Cons

Executive leadership needs an overhaul. CMO is toxic and has caused many long standing people to leave the company. She only hires people that will say yes to her. Most people in leadership are too afraid to push back in fear of getting fired like previous peers. Does not treat people well in general.
