Pros

Flex schedule and benefits are great. People are professional, intelligent, and generally very pleasant to work with. Generally speaking they were the best part of working there.

Cons

I wasn't planning on writing a review until a former colleague sent me the "Zoroaster" review published recently. This is clearly a transparent attempt by a manager (most likely the CFO) seeking to inflate the company's rating. It's reflective of Navanti's c-suite's mindset to look at some mostly-true Glassdoor reviews and say "this is clearly hyperbole and therefore totally invalid." I started after the "triage" occurred in 2014, and when I came in it was clear that morale was in the toilet. Everyone I came across resented management, and viewed their future with the company as tenuous at best. Over my year with the company I saw clumsy attempts by management to try and repair the situation, but I also came in on the heels of them out and out lying to employees about Christmas bonuses (which obviously compounded the issue) and which were never paid out, despite the company sending out a card saying they would be. It's clear that the c-suite is completely divorced from reality, and would rather dismiss legitimate concerns by employees as "trolling" instead of bothering to address them in an open and transparent manner. Every review on this page has at least a kernel of truth to it, even the claims that appear over the top have some degree of legitimacy. I have never encountered a work environment this unprofessional.

Pros

As has been enumerated by my colleagues ad naseum, the analysts on the floor are an incrediblly talented, bright and motivated bunch. It was a tremendous honor to work with many of the brightest minds in the field. I will be the first to claim that I am deeply indebted to Navanti for the excellent training I received and I highly recommend it to anybody who is attempting to break into the analytical field. It is indeed intense and fast paced, but I promise it will prepare you well for whatever path you ultimately decide upon.

Cons

However, I take umbrage at the recent batch of reviews that have written off our legitimate concerns and gripes as the rantings of lying trolls. You are of course entitled to your opinion, but you are also very much mistaken if you think that everyone at that company is treated with equal respect. The anger is real. The racism is real. I can personally vouch for the rampant and ongoing sexism. For many of your current and formal employees, the environment continues to be toxic.
