Pros
  1. Genuinely good teammates.
  2. Decent perks.
Cons
  1. Absolutely clueless management. They literally are masters of deception. They will do a lot of politics and try to throw you under the bus.
  2. Working hard here has made my life worse because you become a constant target for management. You can never pushback against literally dumb ideas and hope to stay.
  3. The management is absolutely petty and unempathic to a degree that I cannot explain.
  4. Oh, did I mention that 12-14 hour work days are very normal here? Especially since management is directionless and constantly shifts priorities.
Advice to Management

We all know a great place to work is a sham. Also, inserting agentic everywhere really isn't cool; just fix the damn product first or at least copy Datadog because management ain't capable of anything innovative.

I'd also suggest to replace almost all middle management bar a few because they truly are incompetent and absolute morons.

I really don't see a future for New Relic, especially at the valuations they want to sell at it, lol.
