Pros

I stayed as long as I had because of the people and the mission to do our best work. It was one of the most motivating environments. Sadly this changed with numerous execs changes. I am thankful I experienced New Relic for the company Lew Cirne strived to build. It was truly a remarkable organization with employees that cared about each other, therefore cared about the company’s success. This is no longer the case.

Cons

Constantly changing strategy and the culture and “core values” are no longer important to execs. The recent layoff caught those effected completely blindsided and Relics learned of their fate by receiving an invitation subject line “Transition From New Relic”. So dehumanizing, especially after “Relic Recharge Week” - truly unethical and definitely not the same company I joined.

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.

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.
