Pros
I learned very quickly how poorly run an organization can be
Cons
Take a look around at the people left in your respective organizations. With churn so high, who’s left? Usually the people who are the underperformers and have very few job prospects — the only reason why they would stay behind at this dumpster fire of a company. I keep hearing about attrition in my former team and this is exactly what I’m seeing. I left a few months ago because I had no mentorship, was frustrated at the lack of systems and adaptability of my teammates (why are we still doing things in such a rudimentary way and why are people so resistant to change?), the clear indications that the company is going downhill (first sign was the rebrand…) and finally, the militant atmosphere of management. The Independent wrote a great article about Navan and included a note about an employee who was forced into a corner by their boss to delete a review — entirely true and an accurate depiction of the sort of culture that is encouraged at this company. If you have any other options, leave. You’re being left behind with the bottom of the barrel who will continue to run the place to the ground. All while being severely underpaid.
