Pros

- The people are tremendous. It's important to work with people who you like, and impressive that the vast majority of employees meet that criteria. - The technology is solid - great to sell something that you can trust - Excellent growth and market recognition - With the fast growth there is ample opportunity for lateral and upward mobility - Strong ethics from the leadership team trickles down fairly well. - increasingly strong overall comp plan (RSUs, 401k match, lots of vacation, etc)

Cons

- It's intense and like running on a fast treadmil - lots of change (for the better) but change none the less. If you can't adapt, it's tougher to be successful - As the company gets larger, it's harder and harder to know everyone - Pay is OK but people get constant offers for more.

Thank you for your kind comments. I appreciate you hanging in there with all of our growth, and the changes that come with that growth. And, while you can't know everyone anymore (I don't either, I am sorry to say), I hope you continue to have great time with those with whom you do work! Steve McElfresh VP People

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.
