What's the Company Culture Like at New Relic?

New Relic Employee Perspectives

New Relic emphasizes outcomes over busywork, giving employees clear goals and a direct line of sight between their contributions and the company’s progress. The company’s results-driven culture is designed to make work feel purposeful while ensuring strong performance is visible and recognized.

“It’s not about activity; it’s about achieving measurable goals that move the business forward, ensuring everyone’s effort is meaningful and recognized.”
 

New Relic approaches LGBTQIA+ inclusion as a cross-functional business commitment reflected in its benefits, workplace policies and culture programs. In 2026, that work helped the company earn a perfect score on the Human Rights Campaign Foundation’s Corporate Equality Index for the second consecutive year.


“I am proud to lead the effort to earn this award. Multiple teams contribute to more than 100 questions about our benefits, business practices, and culture initiatives to determine if we are best-in-class in regard to LGBTQIA+ inclusion in the workplace. It’s a huge undertaking and massive accomplishment. As a Black gay man, this is more than a work accomplishment — it’s personal.”

New Relic’s culture emphasizes inclusion as a shared responsibility across teams and regions. That commitment helped the company earn a score of 100 on the Human Rights Campaign Foundation’s 2026 Corporate Equality Index and receive the Equality 100 Award for LGBTQ+ workplace inclusion.

“I am proud of the work that New Relic has done to create an inclusive and welcoming workplace. This accomplishment underscores our commitment both in the U.S. and globally.”

Since becoming global co-chair of Rainbow Relics in 2023, I’ve had the incredible opportunity to collaborate with passionate colleagues from all over the world, while growing my leadership skills. Engaging directly with the leadership team here at New Relic to advocate for and represent our community has been a deeply rewarding experience.

The Access ERG has given me so many opportunities to expand my understanding and perspective on the mental health landscape of New Relic. I've come to believe that the main thing one can do to prime themselves for promoting a safer space for others is to continually do the exercise of extending compassion (regardless of understanding) to others.

In a global, distributed company, a sense of belonging doesn’t just happen by accident. You have to build it on purpose.

New Relic has one of the most collaborative cultures I've experienced. As a new hire (Mar '25), I've sat with the CEO, CMO, CPO, and CCO, and they genuinely wanted my input! I've traveled over 6,000 miles for conventions and training and spoken directly to key stakeholders for some of the world's biggest companies.
