Pros

Great team work & cross team support Strong leaders Decent hiring practices

Cons

Wildly opaque promotion practices - people are hand selected and jobs created rather than jobs being posted Company has made a huge deal about their new Management Training initiative, with comments about "things you won't have learned in college". Whoever designed the program doesn't really understand the current demographics of the company. As the company has grown, the leadership has remained largely static and aged in place. The people being hired aren't new grads anymore, they're people who seem 'young' to 50 year-olds - so mid-30s and -40s. Programs for 'what you didn't learn in college'? Completely worthless as a development program to this population TERRIBLE vacation policy in the Services organization

Thank you for taking time to share your thoughts and for your candor! I did want to share that the majority of our hires do come to NAVEX Global with less than 3 years of experience in the field for the role in which they are applying. As a result of our multiple acquisitions over the past few years, we also have managers without previous experience that we are committed to developing through the management training program. I also want to let you know that career planning was not abandoned in 2016, however performance reviews were. We absolutely do need to do a better job at ensuring people have clarity around their career path and this is why we are continuing to invest in our Learning & Development function, which will include the release of additional new programs this year. If you would like to learn more about the ideas in motion and provide input on whether you think we're heading in the right direction, I would love to hear from you! Best, Cindy Raz

Pros

Team Culture Flexible Schedule (hybrid model) Entry level pay is great

Cons

The position that was presented during the hiring process was not the position that was ultimately delivered. Employees have very little influence over organizational decisions; the prevailing message is to either accept ongoing changes or move on. The company sets exceptionally high performance expectations but does not appear to fully recognize how constant organizational changes, limited job security, frequent separations and internal restructuring, and unmet commitments can directly impact employees' ability to succeed. These factors create significant obstacles to achieving the standards the company expects.
