New Relic Reviews

Pros

Great onboarding and support Best culture Benefits top notch Genuine care for making the environment a great place

Cons

This place has so many pros and whilst no place is perfect this has to be one of the best places I have ever worked.

Pros

New Relic has a fantastic company culture, driven from the top by the CEO and founder. As a relatively new employee, I've been really impressed by the amount of onboarding and training offered, both online and in person. Pay and benefits are top notch. Literally everyone I've met at New Relic has been welcoming and friendly. The evolution of the product set is back on track, and customers and staff are all excited. I have lots of autonomy in my role but enough support from the team to enable me to do a great job. It's a great time to be at New Relic!

Cons

Everyone in these reviews mentions growing pains, and I'd have to agree. Depending on your reporting line it can be difficult to get timely responses from management, because they may be managing way more staff than they should be. (This problem is being solved through hiring, but that takes time.)

Pros

Having been here for over a year now, I finally feel "ready" to provide a review. Some of the smartest people I have ever had the opportunity to work with. Things being completed or coded every day that was not possible the day before. Culture and people are top notch - everyone is happy to be here and it shows with the "love your Mondays" mantra. Your work here impacts many different industries and companies from the largest enterprises to the smallest startup. There is never a dull day. Management is very caring and always open for feedback and this is reflected in the company direction. The market also agrees as our stock price has more than doubling since I joined (just over a year ago). Benefits include regular enablement in exotic locations (offsites), full top level health insurance, "wellbeing" payments, ESPP and flexible working arrangements. On top of this, you've got a fully stocked snacks (chips, nuts, noodles, cheese & crackers etc.) + drinks (soft and alcoholic) kitchen as well as regular catering for various events.

Cons

With all of the Pros above, there is an expectation to perform as this is without a doubt a high speed organisation. Work-Life balance depends on the team that you're working in but the managers will always try to accomodate your needs. That being said, not everyone is cut out for the breakneck pace of progress but those that are will thrive and excel in this environment. There is always ample support and training, but the rest is up to you.
