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.

Pros

More work for performers and no eagle eye view of management, no notice pay if fired within 3 months.

Cons

be ready to get fired if you are working hard, If you are exposed or speak with top management, your manager is bad in explaning your work.
