Pros

Peers are good, but all are struggling and looking out for better opportunities.

Cons

If -5 was the rating, I would have given that. >Worst Management > No proper planning > Hire and Fire company > Only media showoff, leaders are not connected or on same page > Promotions are given on the basis of favoritism > No Hike or credit to your work.

Pros

New Relic truly offers a challenging but rewarding workspace, where you're constantly pushed to learn and grow. The problems we tackle are genuinely interesting and complex, which means you're always engaged and rarely bored. It's a place where you're surrounded by incredibly smart and passionate individuals who are not only brilliant but also genuinely supportive. One of the standout aspects of New Relic is the people and the culture. There's a strong emphasis on collaboration, and I've consistently found colleagues to be helpful, willing to share knowledge, and focused on solving problems together rather than assigning blame. This supportive environment makes navigating the challenging aspects of the work much more manageable and enjoyable. While the pace can be fast and there's a constant drive for innovation, the leadership team is highly competent and seems genuinely committed to fostering a humane and inclusive environment. They often make decisions that prioritize the well-being of employees, even when it might be the harder path. If you thrive in a dynamic, learning-intensive environment where you can make a real impact alongside talented individuals, New Relic is definitely worth considering. It's a place where you'll be challenged, but the rewards in terms of personal and professional growth are significant. Pros: - Challenging and engaging work - Extremely smart and supportive colleagues - Strong culture of collaboration and learning - Competent and humane leadership - Opportunities for significant professional growth

Cons

- Frequent changes in strategic direction from management - Lack of consistency in long-term planning - Fast-paced environment (can be intense at times due to shifting priorities) - Constant change requires high adaptability and resilience
