Pros

Really kind and smart colleagues, occasional free food and travel, good travel booking app.

Cons

So many to list, but more than anything, it really isn't worth the stress. Quotas and comp plans change all the time, super young and inexperienced managers who often get promoted simply because they are the best brown-nosers. Most companies won't allow someone in their 20's become a Director, or someone in their early 30's become a VP, but this place is filled with them. As for the product, the travel booking app is still pretty good but does have plenty of bugs, and the expense tool is mediocre at best. CEO needs to stop acting like he built the great pyramids by himself when there have literally been numerous alternatives to Navan that existed for years before they came along. His personality really, really rubs people the wrong way too. He's singularly focused on going IPO and will most likely have to accept yet another round of funding before that happens though because they spend and waste money like no company I've ever seen. Unless you're truly desperate and can't find another job, do yourself a favor and stay away.

Pros

Fast paced, plenty of room and opportunity to grow. Very good starting pay and ability to earn bonuses. Many remote work options. Strong culture and supportive leadership, with fun company events (like the Christmas party) that help people feel connected, even for the many remote employees.

Cons

The pre‑hire assessment is very strict and pass/fail. I’ve referred strong, experienced candidates who I know are good workers, but they did not pass the test and were not given the opportunity to move forward. It feels like the process may screen out some high‑potential talent who could otherwise thrive here.
