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.

Pros

New Relic truly walks the walk. I love that the company leans into a Challenger Mindset; it creates a dynamic where we are always improving and staying ahead of the curve. Even as a new hire, my perspective feels valued. Beyond the tech, the culture is unprecedented. Everyone is incredibly helpful and stays Accountable to one another. It’s rare to find a place that is this friendly while still maintaining a high bar for getting work done.

Cons

Still in the honeymoon phase, but navigating the vast amount of internal documentation can be a bit of a whirlwind during the first month; definitely feel like "drinking from a fire hose." While the team is supportive, the sheer volume of information can be overwhelming for a newcomer.
