Pros

While New Relic offers some perks like free lunches and a decent benefits package, the overall experience has been mixed. The office location and facilities staff are great, but other aspects of the company culture and work environment leave much to be desired.

Cons

I'm disheartened to witness the rapid decline of New Relic. Once a thriving and innovative workplace, it has transformed into a toxic environment plagued by uncertainty and poor leadership. Frequent layoffs have created a climate of fear and anxiety. The company has slashed essential benefits, including professional development opportunities and well-being initiatives. A significant portion of roles are being offshored to India, limiting career advancement for US-based employees. The leadership team seems more focused on short-term gains and buzzword-driven strategies than on long-term product vision and employee morale. A once vibrant and supportive culture has deteriorated, with many talented individuals leaving due to poor management and demoralizing practices. It's truly disheartening to see such a promising company take this negative trajectory. I urge potential candidates to carefully consider the current state of affairs before accepting a position at New Relic.

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.
