Navan reviews

Some legacy code and projects.

Let me begin with the fact that I personally don't know a single happy employee in the Israeli site. I'm not even joking. I've never seen such a churn rate. Its a known joke in the company - you don't know who is gonna disappear next. Interpersonal cons: * Absolute and complete toxic management. Choose any toxic aspect you want and its there! micromanagement, endless hours and no work life balance, arrogance, gaslighting and whatnot. * There's no celebrating success - other companies have weekly happy hours which are more fancy than this company's IPO celebration. * You can't really connect to anyone because they're always leaving. * The company announced they'll embrace yearly layoffs like they do in Amazon, so prepare for that! Technical cons: * The majority of the company's codebase is in a single enormous repository that's impossible to maintain or work with. * Security procedures cause developer productivity to be reduced to absolute zero. You can't do anything without endless approvals and engineers knowingly skip good practices to overcome this. * Lots of core functionality is written in an extremely fragile and low quality code. * Endless politics which you can't avoid, because you'll have to deal with unbearable developers with political power to do your job. * Teams scattered over the world make you work with other time zones. * The extreme churn causes sources of knowledge to leave, leaving you with piles of code to deal with yourself.
