Pros

Working at New Relic means you are surrounded by some of the most talented and passionate people in the industry. The team environment is very collaborative, and it's a place where you can learn a great deal from your peers. The product itself is a leader in the observability space, and it's rewarding to represent such a powerful platform. The flexibility of remote work is also a significant advantage and is well-supported by the company.

Cons

The primary challenge right now is the uncertainty following the acquisition by a private equity firm. This has understandably created some anxiety about the future direction of the company. Additionally, there have been a few rounds of layoffs in recent times.

New Relic Response

Thank you for recognizing the incredible talent and collaborative spirit that makes New Relic special! We appreciate your feedback and are focused on providing transparent communication and a clear vision for our path forward.

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.
