I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Navan
Interview
I was contacted by a recruiter and scheduled a time to have a call. The recruiter reached out to me on Linkedin 5 minutes after the call was about to start to tell me she was on a meeting and wanted to reschedule.
This was super unprofessional and disrespectful. The recruiter could have reached out before the meeting was supposed to start to let me know her other meeting was running late. Also, what if I wasn't sitting on LinkedIn at the time? Would she have been a no-show?
I obviously will not be rescheduling.
I had an initial call with a hiring manager and he was great but he mentioned that if I "wanted to leave at 4pm and go to the park" this job wasn't for me. (This was an unprompted comment when I mentioned what their in-office policy was like). He also kept mentioning how "hard" the work was and he has to work at night to get his work done.
I think the product they have is great but the comments are telling of what the company's culture is like.

Tell me about a time you worked with a client that had differing priorities
I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Navan
Interview
I was invited by an internal recruiter to have a phone screen. At the end of the call, the recruiter said I was "definitely moving on to the next round." I passed on my resume and was told I would hear about next steps in 1-2 business days. Surprise, surprise - I never heard back, even after following up again.
This is a tough job market as it is. Please follow up with your candidates. This has left a really bad taste in my mouth when it comes to using Navan as a client in the future.

I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Navan (London, England) in Jun 2024
Interview
Internal recruiter screening call first and then two seperate interviews with management. All went well and then I was ghosted no feedback. I saw online that both managers left the company shortly afterwards so maybe they were trying to do me a favour.
