Pros

You can write a known company name in your CV in order to jump to another place.

Cons

The management's communication is often unclear, making it challenging for employees to understand their expectations. Additionally, they do not consistently provide effective tools and resources to support their staff. They also make you work overtime. Human resources frequently make promises they later fail to uphold, which can be frustrating for employees who rely on their commitments. The nature of the work is constantly shifting due to the lack of a well-defined path. For instance, you may find yourself working on a particular feature one day, only to be informed abruptly that you need to switch gears on a Friday to meet a deadline for something due on Monday. This constant change can be disorienting and impact job satisfaction.

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.

Horrific middle management. This was all a long time ago though. The people I worked with are all gone.
