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.

Don't accept a position in sales here

Pros

Great people, good travel platform, strong sales training

Cons

Scope of work, comp, senior leadership Scope of work: As an AE, expect to be a SDR, AE, launch manager, and CS rep. You will set 90% of your meetings, and have weekly micro management around PG numbers. After the deal is closed, you will continue to be responsible for the success of your customers, be expected to handle CS requests with little enablement or access to appropriate tools. A large portion of your work will be handling support requests from your customers. Comp: Comp changed from pay out on deals closed to revenue. Comp changes come constantly, sometimes in the middle of the quarter, with little helpful explanation. Tenured AEs will be forced to stay at TA because the payment of large deals closed won't come for the next 1-3 quarters. New people have an uphill battle to achieve their OTE. Senior leadership: During quarterly business reviews, it is understood to avoid entire subjects, despite these being very relevant to our position. VPs do not want to hear you share valid concerns about comp or job responsibilities, and in the case of one VP, will react quite aggressively if these are brought up. While it was once a great place to be in sales, TA is not an ideal place to work in sales now. Find something else
