Incredible management and teamwork, but product strategy can overwhelm

Technical success manager

Pros

Management is incredible and the teamwork here is genuinely real Great people everywhere you look, across every team Salary is above market average and the benefits are fantastic Smart AI adoption strategy — they actually invest in giving us great AI tools, and nobody gets laid off because of it. It just makes everyone's work better One year in and I genuinely want to stay here forever. Hope they keep it this way

Cons

Product strategy can feel overwhelming at times because there is always so much going on at once, which makes it hard to keep up with everything.

Awful place to work at

Pros

I was a lead in product analytics team. My team members and manager were great but thats the only positive things I can say about my tenure at New Relic. Pay was decent

Cons

The management is absolutely horrible. I never had any meaningful work because the teams we would work with had no clear goals. Frequent issues between analytics teams and engineering team (data platform). Data platform team constantly tries to migrate from one platform to another and that keeps them busy. Stakeholders are neither data savvy nor really product oriented. I felt like everyone at New Relic is just working on their exit plan. Teams just hire to bloat up numbers. The CRO is a joke of a person. CTO was terrible too but he left. Half the company exits have been to GitLab. The CEO, Ashan, is a coward who took the decision to lay off folks but didnt have the guts to speak to company about it. I am glad am out of the mess and I frankly am amazed that the company hasn't imploded.
