Pros

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.

Business Outlook

Pros

- The solution set is a great one to represent. True strategic advantages to help customers quickly solve and stay ahead of costly business problems. - Good pay and commission opportunities for AE's. - Some really good people to help newbies get up to speed - Active BRGs

Cons

- Highly dysfunctional internal workflow processes. - They seemed to have bought every software, that doesn't integrate with each other and insists that AE's use every one of them. - Reporting/forecasting systems (3) are so confusing that my FLM could not help me to learn how to use it. - Serious integrity issues in the leadership at the RVP level

New Relic Response

We acknowledge the cons and advice you shared and will take your feedback into consideration. Thank you for your review and best of luck in your future endeavors.
