Pros
The general mood in the office is positive. There are some nice perks such as an on-site barista, happy hour every once in awhile, and Monster energy drinks.
Cons
Never once had I received a negative quarterly performance review or had any work issues brought to my attention during 1 on 1 meetings in over 3 years of working at New Relic. At my last performance review, I was ambushed by a "Performance Improvement Plan" stating that I was not meeting expectations. The items to complete or be terminated, individually were doable within 90 days. However I was given a list of 5 tasks to accomplish. It was clear the company was not interested in my success as an employee. Pushing out a long time employee under the guise of a Performance Improvement Plan is unfair. Unfortunately this approach is still being used by the company.
