Pros

The best part of Tripactions/Navan was able to make lifetime friendships.

Cons

Why on earth would you hire Travel Managers with no travel experience?? Each day, was groundhog's day, leadership making the same mistakes and expecting a different outcome. Seeing first-hand favoritism and Bullying from managers and HR turning a blind eye to abuses I could no longer work for a company that could condone this type of behavior from mid and upper management. Seen too many of my co-workers treated horribly and forced to leave.

Some good people but toxic workplace

Pros

You’ll meet some really great people who are amazing inside and smart and hard working. Compensation is pretty good if you’re in Engineering/Product/Design.

Cons

That “nice people” is my top pro here should say something. Compensation for the other teams is woefully inadequate relative to other tech companies of this size and stage. CEO is not only an idiot but has no understanding of the tech market. This is a man who believes that Navan can take the entirety of travel market in 3 years and thinks Salesforce will be obsolete in 5 years. He also has no understanding of simple math. A lot of nepotism and favouritism where folks are promoted even if they’re not qualified. Nobody can tell Ariel no because he’s too pig headed to listen. No clear strategy for the company. The whole Navan rebrand has been poorly received and the areas of focus for growth aren’t well thought out and lacks input from key stakeholders. Lack of honesty from senior leadership as it relates to IPO timing, leadership departures, and overall company performance metrics.
