NAVEX reviews

Most of the negative reviews on here about the AE roles still hold true. It’s wild they get away with treating new hires this way. Hired 3x the amount of AEs vs the amount of open territories, which they never communicated during hiring process. They make you go through 3 “certifications” (mock sales calls/demo) during training but will decide who gets territories after 1 certification so they can fail/fire people if they don’t pass the next two or you’ll be put on the sales Bench, which they gaslight you saying that it’s a standard practice for SaaS companies. The favoritism is insane and the grading on these certifications is ridiculous. This is a revolving cycle with new hires so if you are thinking about taking a job here, think again because you most likely won’t have a position after 9 weeks of training…and that 9 weeks truly is your interview process to get a job here. Even when you’re in training with 15+ people you’ll see they are STILL hiring for more sales people with ZERO open sales territories. Seasoned sales folks stay far away. Sales leadership here sucks, plain and simple. There wasn’t a single quality I saw from my leader that made me ever want to work for them. The office environment is weird and the culture is non inclusive. Just a completely unethical company who doesn’t value employees as people, which is funny because they are selling/preaching ethical/speak up cultures with their products.

Since BC Partners acquired the bulk of the company it's been a pretty steady downward slide. NAVEX used to be a family company, with compassionate leaders and one that did the right things right. Now, the only thing that matters is profit. Over work/life balance, over employee loyalty, over ethics. Bob Colin navigated the CEO waters with grace and dignity and never would have let this company become the disgrace it now is. Layoffs happen at least quarterly if not monthly, but are never communicated. Employees that given their lives to the company are tossed aside like yesterday's news. There used to be a culture of protecting people, product, and reputation. Now it is outsourcing and profit. I used to recommend this company to anyone I could, but now I'd recommend you find work elsewhere if you can. Some of the managers are truly amazing, the issues definitely stem from the C-Suite, Board, and some VPs.
