      Interview

      It's a scam. Never accept any interview invitation from New Relic. They never respond once they are done with the interview. The interview questions were very easy. It's complete wastage of time.

      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied through an employee referral. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at New Relic in Apr 2023

      Interview

      Applied to the position through a referral from a friend at NewRelic. Talked to the recruiter for about an hour about the role and what they were expecting. Said I would be speaking to the hiring manager for the next round of screening; they even had a less Senior role open. Instead I got ghosted for a week then declined. Really unprofessional waste of my time. If you don't think I fit the role, tell me up upfront.
