New Relic reviews

Very aggressive management Lay offs annually All the jobs are moving to India All the good people are gone due to bad conditions Stopped bonuses and pay raise Don't work here!

- Questionable job security with seemingly annual layoffs. I survived four layoffs in four years, with another happening right before I joined. - Severe cost-cutting since PE acquisition, getting rid of fringe benefits that employees enjoyed, including options for personal and professional growth, and "free" time off (Recharge Week) because "It's meant as a reward and we haven't earned it this year". - Lack of career progression post-acquisition with most new roles going to India (even for ones previously in the US and EU). Appears to be offshoring of a sort. - Bonuses and new equity options under PE were confusing and underwhelming, effectively tying engineering bonuses to sales performance. - New equity grants also appear to be used to support stack ranking and try to force certain people to leave and encourage the people they deem important to stay. - Leadership (i.e., Directors and above to the C-Suite) do little to inspire frontline employees or lay out a solid vision for the future of the product and the company. - Low morale and eroding company culture. Two years ago, it was a great place to work, with people trying to refer previous coworkers and friends into it. Now most people I worked with have left in the last 4 months and the rest are trying or planning to leave as a direct result of poor leadership. - Product is stagnating. Leadership seems to be more interested in building a product they can market with the latest buzzwords like "AI" and "GenAI" than building tools customers want and engineers want to build.
