Pros

Navan (fka TripActions) was a place that, when I first joined two years ago, had all of the promise and excitement of a tech company that was starting to figure it out, and this was reflected by the intelligence and confidence of the leadership at that time.

Cons

Since the rebrand, there has been a fundamental shift. The excitement that was once so widely felt vanished overnight, replaced instead with an overwhelming sense of emptiness and dread. The leadership is callous and arrogant, the day-to-day employees are at the mercy of constant, unexplained changes and petty politics, and whatever competent managers there were have been replaced by people who don't listen and are too afraid of losing their own jobs to help anyone else succeed. I'm sure there are those at Navan who will continue to find success, but the company has not made winning feel fun in a very, very long time. It makes sense why turnover stays alarmingly high. Come work here, but only if you enjoy being micromanaged and are looking to develop depression.

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.
