Good product with poor leadership

Pros

It's a good product, and most people that are first-level manager and below are smart and wonderful to work with. General interest in diversity and inclusion and fairly good work/life balance.

Cons

The product/engineering organization lacks vision so priorities are constantly changing. There's a lot of wasted work and starting/stopping...not because we learned something new and compelling from customers, but because leadership can't decide what's most important to be working on. The roadmap is being strongly driven by sales since the change in leadership, so few people are enabled and empowered to do what they think is right for the products. People hire and promote those like them, so most of the director level positions and above in the product/engineering organization are filled with those promoted without experience and are primarily white alpha males. There's interest in diversity and inclusion within the company, but it doesn't show in product/engineering. And People Ops is no help. For a company of this size and resources, it's one of the least competent HR organizations I've worked with.

Pros

Big changes have been implemented over the last year: - target reductions - bigger accelerators - higher compensation - a platform for the voice of the people I feel New Relic is listening to the needs of their people and everyone can be very successful when working really hard

Cons

not many lately, but a career plan is not existing yet

Pros

Some very nice people here who are being forced to work for old-school managers from prehistoric firms. Free coffee and location are nice.

Cons

Where do I start? The new President seems only interested taking over as CEO and running the place like an Oracle. The managers being hired and promoted here are serious bullies with questionable ethics. This used to be a great place, but not anymore: It went downhill really fast.
