Pros

I've been here nearly 2 years, and have found: - Smart people - Great customers - Challenging problems to solve, many related to scaling quickly - A humanist culture focused on solving real problems for our customers - Lots of opportunity to grow as the company grows The place is definitely going through a transformation and people are working hard to retire "debt" that has been deferred after growing so fast for 9 years so we can keep scaling with less hiccups. As a result, there are some rough spots, but people are pulling together to work through them. Typical growing pains in my view. There have been some recent changes in Sales and Marketing leadership that are starting to improve the culture - my manager is very invested in my growth and I can see a systematic effort to improve lead flow, systems, and comp plans.

Cons

- Dealing with growing pains - Equity awards could be a bit more generous, but not unusual for a company this size - Our broad platform means it's taken we some time to ramp up on all the tech - Finance and Legal seem to have more involvement in deal approvals than I am used to

Pros

The Engineering and Tech Support organizations are filled with beautiful minds. There are a lot of unbelievably sharp people and almost to a person the very smartest and best among them are sublimely humble. The work is challenging but that means the workday is intellectually engaging. The people there are genuine and, on the whole, you really can bring your authentic self.

Cons

Recognition seems regrettably more like a popularity contest than anything else. Cliquishness on some teams seemed to be aided and abetted by management. Diversity is measured mostly in superficial ways (skin color, sexual orientation) and far less so in deeper ways (political or religious affiliation etc.). That said New Relic needs to do a much better job of retaining diversity.

Pros

full stack of chocolate bars and coffee available in cafeteria.

Cons

Middle management is just horrible. you will see typical startup environment. Highly skilled workers are reporting to dump managers so there is always dissatisfaction while doing work. if you are technically smart then look for something else but avoid this company. There is very high attrition rate.
