Pros

If you’re desperate for a job and have no other choice, fair enough.

Cons

This is just my honest experience and personal perspective, but I feel it’s important to share in case it helps someone make an informed decision. Working at Navi was, in short, incredibly tough. The pressure on staff is nonstop - mentally, emotionally, and physically draining. It’s not an exaggeration to say that people were burned out and in bits. I saw more than one person in tears during the workday. The environment felt toxic and overwhelming most of the time. The micromanagement was constant, you’d barely get a chance to breathe without someone hovering or chasing you for updates. And when the work piled up (which it always did), the blame somehow landed on us for not being able to do the job of three or four people at once. What made things worse was that many process decisions were made by one single person in a top-down fashion, often without understanding the real workload or asking for input from the staff who actually had to carry it out. In my opinion, this approach made the work even more chaotic and unsustainable. I was honestly shocked to see people handing in their notice without even having another job lined up, simply because they couldn’t take the pressure anymore. I’ve never seen that happen in any company I worked for or heard of from friends, and it left me both sad and genuinely stunned. It felt like management were more focused on appearances and short-term fixes rather than supporting their teams or addressing the core issues. A lot of really good people have handed in their notice recently and frankly, I don’t blame them. If you’re desperate for a job and have no other choice, fair enough. But if you’ve got other options, I’d seriously recommend thinking twice. This is just my take, but I wouldn’t wish this experience on anyone. All opinions expressed are my own based on my experience.

Pros

Some people were nice and welcoming

Cons

I have never seen a more disorganized company in all my time in the working world. Systems that do not work and are impossible to manage even for a large team, let alone the small teams that are there. Hiring people without actually understanding what the business needs are beforehand, leading to frequent changes in job titles and responsibilities. A huge level of micromanagement of people who are doing what they can with the resources and time they have. Instead of fixing the root causes of the systemic issues, upper management blame individuals rather than their own incompetence. Like a bunch of headless chickens attempting to run a business. If I could turn back the clock I would have never accepted a job here, take this and the other reviews as a warning. Unless you want to be completely burnt out, anxious and unhappy, take any other job that you can find.

Pros

Free tea and snacks, 2 nights out per year, lots of good people are working there.

Cons

In my personal experience, the environment was toxic with constant micromanagement. Huge amount of manual work and pressure, everything felt chaotic and exhausting. If I had to choose between going back to work there for 2 mill or living in a tent on the Grand Canal, I would pick a tent. Happy it's ended.
