Pros

There are not many pros when working at NAVEX. BE AWARE OF THIS COMPANY. They preach about ethics but how they run their business is the opposite. Most are cons but below are a few pros: - The ability to work remote. - Employees are friendly. - Training is very good and intensive. - Known brand in the industry

Cons

IMPORTANT: READ BEFORE ACCEPTING JOB The list of cons are very long. The company is in the ethical and compliance industry but the culture is the complete opposite in terms is toxic. It is owned by VC firms so NAVEX goals are short term not long term. This is how they see all employees… only short term and if you have worked at the company for years they do not reward nor do they care about you. They are quick to fire you and then add a new employee as if nothing happened. Here are a few reasons why you should not work at NAVEX and find a different company: - Low pay: below the average. - Work/life balance terrible: You are constantly working throughout the entire day due to angry customers or unnecessary admin that does not let you focus on selling. Even if you wanted to get off sooner, the load of work piles up leaving you to work longer hours. - Out-dated product: the user interface on their product looks like it was created in 2010. The company is losing customers in enterprise because other competitors have better product. Customers will complain about how old the software looks and how it is not user friendly. - No PTO: They say “unlimited PTO” but they will guilt you and you don’t want to take any time off. - Micro management: Managers are constantly in every meeting and will ping you randomly to ensure you are working - Upper management: C-level executives only care about numbers and puts massive pressure on sales managers which puts pressure on the entire sales organization - Unethical sales practices: Upper management do not care about customers. They want to lock in long term contracts so customers can’t get out of contract. The company is doing bad so this is a way to help future revenue as many customers leave after their contract is done. - Constant turnover: Employees are leaving NAVEX constantly. When working for 3-6 months half your team has probably left leaving you with new relationships to build. - No diversity: Upper management has no diversity. It is all Caucasian men with a small amount women. - Expensive benefits: The benefits are okay but expensive.

Pros

Good products, good ownership group, work/life balance, fair comp

Cons

Management is the worst. I’m not sure if it’s because I’m the lowest level of sales, or I’m just sales in general, but managers of are of almost no help beyond how to contact the prospect. Sales managers only manage the numbers and have absolutely zero people skills. Can you please just give them a management book to read or something? Has anyone ever told them that it doesn’t matter what deal strategy you have if you demotivate the crap out of your salespeople? And it’s not just about being nice, seriously provide some management training. Also, the managers outside of sales department could not care any less about the salespeople. (but really it’s the customer they don’t care to help bc anything I ask about is on the clients behalf) They act like theyre here for you when you meet in person, but numerous time haven’t responded to emails or to help with any development whatsoever. Not to mention the totally non existent training program beyond boot camp (which is not as relevant as it could be) So you don’t offer training for aes, but managers won’t take the time to help when it’s specifically requested. Lucky you have good salespeople that know what they’re doing, but I can tell you with certainty that this aspect of our culture is a big deal and actively being discussed by new hires and sales in general. People aren’t appreciating being brushed aside bc it’s not important to management. This is a real problem, not just a random Glassdoor complaint. It would be great to feel like the organization as a whole has my back and cares about my own success, not just the managers commit number. And also when I ask for help it would better to know that the individual behind the email I’m asking for help from isn’t just sitting there rolling there eyes. Aren’t we a team working together for the benefit of our clients?

Pros

Plenty of people who are really intelligent and easy to work with. Honestly, if they paid me even close to my market value I wouldn't have left in the first place. I took another position as of September 6, 2017.

Cons

• The pay is way below what it should be. As a solid high producing software engineer, I was making 60k a year. I got a job down the street, same engineering-level, making 94k. • Healthcare has a $4000 deductible, so employees that live paycheck to paycheck essentially don't have healthcare.
