New Relic Employee Reviews
What People Are Saying About New Relic
-
Remote or Hybrid Flexibility: Company materials and job posts emphasize a Flex First approach with remote and hybrid options, enabling outcome-focused work. This flexibility typically supports balance when teams practice it.
-
Time Off Access: Benefits include flexible or unlimited PTO for many U.S. exempt roles, paid parental leave, and backup childcare, making it easier to disconnect and recover when workloads spike. These programs are highlighted in recent impact and benefits materials.
-
Workload Manageability: Day-to-day load is often described as generally manageable with normal tech hours outside incident or launch windows. Spikes occur, but outside those periods many teams operate at a sustainable pace.
