I joined and worked at New Relic for 4 years, from the "golden age" and left right before NR being bought out by venture capitalists. Everyone was incredibly smart, I learnt something new every day and we worked hard to solve difficult problems that impact people world wide. Honestly, one of the best times of my working life!
Cons
Towards the end, there were many lay offs leading to incredibly low morale and high attrition. The culture wasn't the same and I don't think it ever recovered after covid.

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.

Man, this was a great company back in the day. Almost everyone is gone now.
Cons
Horrific middle management. This was all a long time ago though. The people I worked with are all gone.
