Process
The interview process is quite long. I had a total of 5 interviews, each roughly 30 minutes long. I also had to complete a coding assessment that took approximately 4 hours.
The coding assessment and interviews took place over the course of 3-4 weeks.
The time commitment seemed somewhat excessive to be spaced out over the long time period. I think I would have preferred taking an entire day off of work to complete the interviews, if that had been an option.
Questions
There really were no specific questions in the actual 1:1 interviews. Mostly, we discussed my background and why I was interested in the position.
Most of the interviews had overlapping discussions and could probably have been done in a group setting to save on time.

New Relic Work Experiences
- 2.0Highly technical product led by non-technical peopleSoftware Engineer • Former EmployeeFebruary 26, 2025Pros: - Market rate salary - Good WLB - Individual contributors who are generally excellentCons: - Product leadership clearly is out of touch with how the product is used, probably because they've never used it in any meaningful way. Most of leadership seems to come from a non-technical background, and it shows in their lack of cohesive or realistic vision. New Relic is a product for engineers, and the product leadership clearly has no, or very stale, engineering perspective. - Engineering leadership is designing top-down without understanding how the product works at all, which is doomed to fail. The name of the game is to cut costs and consolidate. Slideware is repeatedly presented that shows some magical simplified product architecture without any idea of how to get there. - ICs are being moved overseas for cheap labor, but they aren't being trained up at all, leaving everyone to deal with massive confusion. - Private equity definitely played out as one might imagine. The culture has all but disappeared, and everything is grinding to a halt while they lower the bottom line with layoffs and cost cutting.
