Pros

Love my coworkers. Definitely trauma bonded over this experience.

Cons

Easily worked 12 hour days and had to work over the weekends. Didn’t have a life outside of this job for my entire miserable existence at Navan. So much stress and unrealistic expectations, I wouldn’t wish this role on my worst enemy. They don’t care about their employees. They overwork you until you burn out and then force you out. This happened to multiple people I worked with that were great at their job. CEO is terrible.

Pros

Product is amazing. Full stop you’re hard pressed to find a better product market fit and product as far ahead of the competitor set than at TripActions.

Cons

When will travel restart. Competition pricing confuses buyers. Program managers are usually very low level and risk adverse. Leadership seems unaware and/or not compassionate to market challenges. If you care about diversity the head of dei is just a friend of ceo and since his hiring all but one African American remains in the sales organization. He just promotes his personal brand but does nothing truly in the lane of dei.

Pros

- Best in class product in a legacy industry with unmatched services and systems (well, our services are okay) - Smart and experienced leaders with proven IPO experience that know how to drive innovation and growth - Massive room to grow in travel, expense, payments so long term outlook is promising

Cons

- Sales team has become toxic and is based on fear, pressure, and micro management - Lack of sustainable growth has led to a churn and burn environment within sales, and those that are successful, are struggling to be happy - Politics favor managers that are well liked and many are not competent, almost no ownership on sales leaders for missing numbers - All of the pressure and blame of missed numbers is put on individual contributors. Poor performers are fired and leadership takes no accountability over poor processes, training, or hiring practices - New CRO is the main driver of all this negativity. Sales team was flourishing with old CRO.
