Pros

One of the benefits of moving to a private company is no longer having to appease shareholders. The market is notoriously short sited which has caused us to make business decisions in the past that ultimately hurt the quality of our products. The new direction the company is focusing on looks like it will bring us back up to speed in the ever changing and competitive observability market.

Cons

RSU's (Restricted Stock Units) were a large part of our total compensation and were what kept the pay here competitive. As a private company, it's too early to tell what we'll settle on in regard to replacing this compensation or whether it will meet the needs of employees.

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.
