I've been at Salesforce as an Account Executive for 2 yrs. I am completely disillusioned with the company. In Sales the #Ohana and culture SF is so proud of is non-existent, pure marketing-fuelled fluff. I'm in talks with AWS, MSFT and, for variety, New Relic. I heard of them from a previous life in VMware but have read they may be in a downward spiral? DataDog stock seems to have been more attractive over these past months. Thoughts from anyone working there? For context, I am EMEA based. Thanks and hope y'all staying safe!
Do you have any offers or just thinking of interviewing?
I am interviewing and hopefully will have an offer soon, purely for evaluation ourposes
Cool! Good luck. Do let me know the numbers.
Avoid.
If it's culture you're looking for, then New Relic is not your spot. There once was enviable culture, but over the last year or so has eroded into the same marketing fluff you're looking to leave.
All I don't want it to be is ludicrously demanding and micromanaged, both which Salesforce is fast approaching
You will very likely be heavily micromanaged at New Relic. Rarely are sales people just trusted to do their job. Beyond that, the pay is not on par with other software companies and the equity you’ll be offered is a joke.
Sorry to hear that. Have you shared your feedback with Employee Success?
Lol I don't want to be fired in the middle of a pandemic and I've seen enough people who didn't exactly fit in be asked to leave or get axed. I've been a solid overachiever so far and if I leave it's on my terms.
Recommend you do your research on New Relic as my view is 180 from ^^. Blind should be one of many venues but mostly broad stroked hearsay vs facts.
OP what is your current TC?
Do explore Palo Alto Networks as well. Have heard some good things about them.
I love working at New Relic...best decision I have made.
I had phone chat with New Relic’s recruiter for SWE role a month ago, he gave me figures as what it would pay if I join. Pay was on a low end compare to other companies I talked to, not sure how it is for other roles. Just FYI.

Apparently, there is a rumor that Salesforce may bid for Datadog. Again, rumor. New Relic is in the beginning phase of redoing its pricing which could be taken very well in the market. I’ve also heard from current MSFT there’s no such thing a killer year (there’s a cap). I’m not aware of AWS’s comp structure for AE’s. MSFT is selling like hot cakes. https://www.fool.com/investing/2020/08/13/why-datadog-stock-popped-today/
