Pros

Work-life balance is good Pay is very competitive WFH No one cares

Cons

New Relic has never had good leadership. But things are the worst they have ever been. There has been yet another round of layoffs. Things are in constant chaos. I have reported to 4 different managers in 3 months. The term "company culture" has not been used in nearly a year. Budgets are being slashed everywhere. Leadership does not understand the product or the market, is openly dishonest, and will refuse to even commit to goals. Despite surviving the layoffs, my team doesn't even have anything to work on and management doesn't notice or care. As stated in a recent town hall, their goal is to move 70% of the work to India. The director literally asked if "anyone can step up and be a hero." We're doing nothing to develop a competitive advantage. The company's only reason for existence at this point is to get acquired.

Bad management, overall friendly teams

Pros

Depending on teams, good WLB VTO and FTO Decent pay

Cons

Bad management especially in engineering teams that trickle down to the directors below. Platform team and data engineers are friendly and desire to help but directors focus on constant data migration and new tools integration rather than helping stakeholders. Constant layoffs and since privatization, transparency has been minimal

Pros

Flexibility Light on meetings Good perks Very organized Lots of talent No extra time working

Cons

Mandatory on-duty (1 week, rotates within the team) Product is really complex, it takes a while to understand it and start being productive. Layoffs seem to be constant (2 rounds qin a year in 2024), hopefully they finished restructuring the company for a while. Could offer more holiday time Culture has definitely changed in 2024 after becoming a private company again
