Navan reviews

Work-Life Balance. * Manager is working 12+ hour days and sometimes weekends. I somehow manage to claw out a standard 40 hour work week, but I fear that may change soon * On-Call required but not stated on job description or mentioned in interviews stated Poor Management * Company laid off 5% of staff after our best quarter ever. What a waste of good talent... they're gonna have to spend loads of money finding + training replacements once the company continues growing * Incompetent designers frequently lead to simple design changes taking weeks to implement. * Manager has zero planning + estimation skills, and refuses to allow us to spend any time on planning/estimation * Team has no product manager, leading to every single request being prioritized based not on value add but instead on how pushy its stakeholder is

So many to list, but more than anything, it really isn't worth the stress. Quotas and comp plans change all the time, super young and inexperienced managers who often get promoted simply because they are the best brown-nosers. Most companies won't allow someone in their 20's become a Director, or someone in their early 30's become a VP, but this place is filled with them. As for the product, the travel booking app is still pretty good but does have plenty of bugs, and the expense tool is mediocre at best. CEO needs to stop acting like he built the great pyramids by himself when there have literally been numerous alternatives to Navan that existed for years before they came along. His personality really, really rubs people the wrong way too. He's singularly focused on going IPO and will most likely have to accept yet another round of funding before that happens though because they spend and waste money like no company I've ever seen. Unless you're truly desperate and can't find another job, do yourself a favor and stay away.
