Business Outlook

Pros

New Relic has been very supportive of our individual needs across our various roles. We have been through immense product changes over the past year and New Relic has remained one of the most generous organisations I have ever worked for. Supporting our customers who are doing it tough and partnering for the long haul. New Relic's diversity and equality is super impressive and truly progressive.

Cons

My role is remote and throughout COVID and many lockdowns, it has been tough to connect with other teams across the region.
