Career growth is a cornerstone of our culture at New Relic. We encourage growth by ensuring all employees are equipped with the knowledge, tools, and support needed to advance and build long-term careers right here.
Whether someone is taking on new challenges within their current domain or stepping into a managerial role, we focus heavily on upskilling our team with versatile, high-impact capabilities. We also prioritize transparency across the business, giving everyone visibility into how different roles operate and what it takes to reach the next level in their journey. A powerful example of this culture in action is Sharmili Arveti, who recently stepped into her role as Senior Software Engineer after maternity leave:
Transitioning back to tech after a two-year maternity leave was a major milestone, but a supportive, family-friendly culture and immediate technical trust made the move empowering. Using AI tools like Claude accelerated my daily tasks so I could focus on complex platform architecture, while peer mentorship helped me build momentum fast. Now in my senior role, I’m excited to launch secure Google Cloud integrations to GA, embed AI deeper into our daily processes, and pay that support forward by mentoring the next wave of engineers.
Living that culture means constantly expanding what’s possible for our people. That’s why every July, we dedicate an entire month to personal and professional evolution across our global team. We recently wrapped up our fifth annual Grow Your Career Month (GYCM), a month-long initiative focused on expanding skills, building internal networks, and preparing Relics for the future of tech.
The Theme for FY27: Accelerating Growth with AI
The future of our industry belongs to AI, and mastering it is one of the most powerful ways for our team to stay ahead of the curve and accelerate their careers.
At New Relic, we say that AI is our superhuman sidekick, and GYCM was all about harnessing AI to its fullest potential. Together, we are shifting our mindset and skills, moving from being builders to being orchestrators of high-impact work.

Across four packed weeks, our programming covered:
- Week One: Workshops on human-centered leadership in the age of AI, strategies for overcoming imposter syndrome, and global speed networking sessions to connect Relics across regions.
- Week Two: Hands-on training on creating custom AI tools (Gemini Gems), managing adaptability and burnout, an advanced AI panel for technical teams (Engineering, Product, and Design), and manager panels on leading global teams.
- Week Three: An introduction to building custom AI agents to automate everyday tasks, specialized AI toolstacks for Go-To-Market teams, AI-driven resume optimization, navigating bias in the age AI, mastering the art of "managing up," and a virtual volunteering event with CareerVillage.
- Week Four: Panels broke down the transition from individual contributor to manager, an AI thought leadership chat with Camden Swita, strategic hiring workshops, an inspiring leadership spotlight with VP Jemiah Sius sharing his top 5 career tips, and an early-access pilot of a new manager AI coaching tool.
Reflecting on the success of this year's program, which brought together nearly 2,700 attendees across 32 sessions over four weeks, Jason Aulicino, Manager of Talent & Organizational Development, shared:
Grow Your Career Month continues to be the most validating and fulfilling work I do all year. This year offered me the chance to take on the very important topic of AI proficiency and the positive feedback we’ve received from attendees has been overwhelming. More than ever, we were able to bring together all parts of the business (Engineering, IT, Employee Experience, Go to Market) to collaborate on something truly special. I look forward to continuing to expand our impact through these incredible events.
Living The Relic Way
At its core, Grow Your Career Month brings The Relic Way (our shared set of values and behaviors that define how we work) to life. It encourages all of us to stay curious, continually build new skills, and push the boundaries of what is possible as one company. Ultimately, personal evolution and business growth go hand in hand: when our people grow, New Relic grows.
