Pros

My experience at Navanit has been a positive one. Since I started working at Navanti over a year and a half ago, Navanti has always taken strides to continuously improve an already good work environment. Management, even at the top level, is open to ideas and listen to recommendations from analysts on how to improve processes. While there is adequate feedback and support to analysts to ensure the quality of products, analysts are afforded a great deal of leeway in writing analysis and encouraged to be creative in finding ways to enhance products. The company recently began bringing in outside consultants to provide professional training for its analysts, evidence that Navanti's management is investing in their employees' professional development. Furthermore, over the past year Navanti has implemented a new structured approach for employees to advance within the company and receive raises. While everyone is expect to work hard, a flex schedule of every other Friday off helps employees maintain a good work/life balance. A three day weekend every other week is outstanding! Flexibility is one of Navanti's greatest benefits. Analysts are often afforded the ability to work remote when needed. The work is exciting and rewarding and the majority of the analysts are young, smart professionals.

Cons

Though transparency, communication, structure, and job security (due to nature of contracting) may have once been issues, all have significantly improved over the past year.

"Navanti's social media campaign: a joke"

Pros

1. I developed unique expertise about a region not many are working on, thanks to my own efforts, ambitions, and initiatives. 2. Flexible schedule 3. Flex Fridays

Cons

1. Leadership instead of assuming responsibility, they are still lying. 2. Navanti used to be a fun place to work in, not anymore. It's just toxic and will bring you down. 3. Encouraging analyst to publish is a big lie, this is something CEO always was opposed to because he doesn't want them to shine and build a brand for themselves. I am glad I didnt listen to him. 4. Stop lying, bonuses paid months later, that's not something positive.Employees were promised bonuses that were never paid. 5. Navanti doesn't have commercial clients and lies about its capabilities. Which puts analysts under pressure to perform tasks not trained for. 6. Navanti doesn't provide any training whatsoever to its new employees. 7. Navanti does not and never did take care of its main asset: smart analysts. Rather prefer having puppets who are just agreeing and accepting everything. Basically taking advantage of desperate people afraid of not finding a job elsewhere.

A Great Place to Grow

Pros

I am aware of the negative comments that many have posted, but the comments I have read do not reflect my experience in Navanti. Simply put, I really like working for Navanti. There are never days where I wake up and I don't want to go to work. In my time, I have been fortunate to work on three different projects for three different clients, each of which challenged me and allowed me to grow. Moreover, I truly enjoy Navanti's work environment and in particular my teammates on the project that I currently work on. Another thing I truly enjoy is that Navanti is a place that encourages creativity and thinking outside of the box. My team and I are constantly striving to find better ways to do things and incorporating new ideas and concepts into products. Beyond my team, Navanti employs a lot of intelligent, driven, and kind people who make, at least in my perception, the work environment enjoyable.

Cons

The work days can be long and the work stressful.
