Pros

PTO benefits are pretty good

Cons

NAVEX is a conglomeration of four or five former competitors and complementary service providers that was mashed together by a private equity firm. The company now has multiple software packages that all do the same thing but no backbone to force customers to consolidate onto a single platform. Some of the platforms are using some really old technology (Classic ASP still drives a major application) and with the focus on growth and revenue (like most private equity firms) there's no money to bring the application up to current technology and standards. In addition to the issues in product development, HR is condescending and plays favorites. As long as you're on their good side you're golden, but get on their bad side and you might as well start looking for another job.

Thank you for taking the time to leave your feedback. NAVEX Global was formed in 2012 from four existing companies with some overlap of products offered but also with very distinct solutions, allowing us to better serve our clients' compliance needs and be more than the sum of our parts. A little over a year ago, we acquired The Network, Inc, making our organization the leading industry provider of integrated software, content and services in the ethics and compliance space. We are proud of this history and see it as an important part of who we are today. Regarding our technology, NAVEX Global uses Agile processes and code refactoring techniques to continually modernize and update our software using the latest technologies and techniques. Typically, this means that when we notice a problem or are making significant changes to an area of the system, if necessary, we upgrade it as well. This helps to limit the risk associated with massive technology overhauls or rewrites and allows us to learn from previous efforts. Lastly, I would also add that I’m sorry that your perception was that HR is biased. As a team we strive to be a resource for all employees and departments. Once again, thanks for your input.

Pros

Relaxed dress code, lunches once per month, "friendly" staff, ability to work remotely.

Cons

This company came highly recommended due to it's company culture. But behind the smiles there is quite a lot of backstabbing. No real support from management. You really are just another piece of "human capital". At a recent quarterly meeting "town hall" the company proudly displayed their hiring statistics. Mostly millennials. The message being quite clear that if you are not in that demographic we really don't want you because you might want more money. They do not want to pay for experienced people, rather hire them directly from college. And that is across the board. At that same town hall, they announced that they were having a tough time filling all the positions due to growth. It isn't due to growth, it is because people are leaving as soon as they find a better opportunity. And try hiring someone who doesn't fit into your "psychological profile" test that is so important to you.

Thank you for taking time to share your thoughts. You are correct that our current workforce does include many great people that align with the millennial generation, however 48% of our team falls in generations outside of this group. Our hiring model is to hire great people that align with the requirements of our jobs; as a result, we have a highly diverse workforce across all demographics. In regards to your perception that HR fills out reviews on a regular basis to boost scores, this is not something NAVEX Global’s HR Team does and nor do we ask people to fill out reviews. NAVEX Global believes reviews posted, positive or otherwise, are important to reflect the experience of people on our team. We have experienced a lot of change over the past 3 years and recognize that the experience we desire for each person to have on our team is not always realized. Based on our recent engagement survey, we also know that we are heading in the right direction as more than 75% of participants stated they were more engaged at NAVEX Global than they were six months ago and provided high satisfactions scores with their job, management and our culture. We wish your experience at NAVEX Global was better and hope you will reach out to your manager or local HR partner to visit further.
