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.
