Process
Quick call with the internal recruiter.
45-minute onsite interview with a team manager.
Take-home code challenge.
All-day onsite interview with the team:
- 2-3 technical-type interviews
- 2-3 culture and personal interviews
It's a decent interview process, but it has some issues. New Relic encourages people to move internally, which is great. However, if you are applying from the outside and mid-process, someone internally wants the job; you have to start all over again with a different team. Some teams require their own code challenge, and some don't, so I ended up doing more than one. I did well enough in my interviews to be considered hireable somewhere, but I had to keep interviewing for months before they could find a spot for me.
Questions
Nothing crazy. Some architecture discussions, basic React.

New Relic Work Experiences
- 2.0Brain Dead LeadershipSoftware Engineer • Former EmployeeApril 10, 2025Pros: Pay is good since I got in before private equity took over.Cons: I don’t know how some of these “leaders” have a job. They’re completely useless. Stay away from this clown show of stupidity.
- 1.0False Promise by HR HiringSoftware Engineer • Current EmployeeBengaluruJuly 24, 2025Pros: Good Place, welcoming and energized folks.Cons: During the hiring, the HR promises a lot of perks, specially annual compensation benefit, and they would lure you to join early by stating everyone will be eligible for the apprisal cycle. After you join, the reality is too different. I am saddened to see false promises.
- 1.0Extremely Toxic WorkplaceSoftware Engineer • Current EmployeeNovember 11, 2024Pros: Nothing to say in ProsCons: This place projects itself as an MNC, but works as a newly established startup. There is no structure at all regarding anything here. Managers have no idea of what work is going on, and they are extremely toxic in their behaviors. Join at your own risk, as hire and fire is a common thing here.
