How is Navi as a company to work for?
I read the glassdoor reviews and it says a bootlicking, inexperienced management and very bad work life balance. It also says good growth and good pay.
I try to stay optimistic and ask folks at Navi as to what is the ground reality. Can you share instances of what is the work culture or just give your reviews?
I was considering it some time back. After a couple of conversations realised that culture wise it had everything you'd not want - people staying in Ofc till 9pm and celebrating the very fact, working over weekends being a very common occurence, extreme high attrition etc etc
Oh wow, staying in office till 9pm and all. No wonder attrition is high.
Answering this as an ex navi employee. The reviews are all true; please don't join.
Here is my review :
You either die a hero or live long enough to see yourself become the villian.... If you stay here for long you'll not be able to recognise yourself; this company will turn you into someone who has no respect/empathy for their peers. you'll not think twice before calling someone at 11 PM if it means you get to deliver your stupid little feature "on time"
There is an org wide culture of people working day and night; 1 am bug fixes/deployments/redeployment are a norm. You're expected to be available at all hours; anyone can call you anytime in the name of some imaginary urgency.
The person on-call is expected to grow 10 heads and work 18 hours a day and also on the weekends even if there is no prod issue.
Its a blatant normalisation of a toxic workplace. Unrealistic timelines have to be taken religiously otherwise you get to see the dark side of insecure incapable leaders.
There's Noone to look upto in tech as none of the managers/leaders show any skill/trait which is worth learning. Most of them have had over-inflated career graphs who're still stuck here because they lack the skill-set to survive out in the wild
Please die a hero
One of the founding team member is going to exit from what I know from my sources. Hope he doesn't join my company and ruin the work culture we have.
By the things I read on this app, I would never join
