      Pros

      Pay is competitive. Fully remote. WLB is OK.

      Cons

      The company is on a downward spiral ever since it was sold to Private Equity. Shifting priorities, no vision, chaotic management, etc. RSUs are going away, and the LTIs that replaced them are basically a scam. And on top of all that, layoffs twice a year.

      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.
