WLB is not good in most teams - lots of pressure and strict adherence to deadlines which are set in weeks or sometime even in days.
There’s a lot of micromanagement - the CEO Bansal has himself set forth a culture of micromanagement and strict tracking across the org where what you do on a daily basis is tracked rigorously; and questions are asked if you’re unable to achieve what you had planned for the day. Most people don’t last more than 1-2 years due to this.
Other than that there are growing pains which are common with lots of fast growing startup’s which do bring in good learning.

Just to add - the orgs/teams where Bansal does not understand the work fully, like for eg tech infra or platform etc. - those teams are relatively enjoyable to work for. He doesn’t seem to push/micromanage much over there since he has 0 clue about AWS Kafka kubernetes etc.

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...
Former/current employees at Navi, please do share your experience working with Navi technologies . Pretty new start up and therefore I assume it would be crazy. But do share your opinion on the work culture, growth, opportunities etc…Thanks
Any view on how is Navi as a company to work for? Generally and also specifically for PMs. Any feedback will help.
