      Pros

      Management doesn't really micro-manage, primarily because they have so much on their plates. Employees care and are usually willing to drop what they're doing to assist. You have the ability to run your business and manage your calendar how you see fit which is nice. The PTO policy is relaxed.

      Cons

      Compensation is well below market and industry standards across the board. It's pretty embarrassing and it's obvious NAVEX really has no interest in fairly compensating their employees. The company was recently purchased by a private equity firm and this has suppressed raises but compensation was terrible before the acquisition. Pay is roughly 30-50% below market rate for a similar role in the software industry. There is little to no interest in rewarding/keeping top talent or developing some sort of career path (the organization is very flat). The compensation would be one thing if the benefits (medical, work from home policy, etc.) made up for the gap but unfortunately the benefits may be worse. Turnover is constant and management doesn't seem concerned, employees are viewed as replaceable and just part of the machine. Really bright and productive employees leave the organization for better opportunities on a consistent basis.

      We have reviewed compensation metrics in our area and our industry, and we are not seeing the 30-50% pay difference that you noted above. We agree the pay for performance philosophy is helpful to our team members, and we have that model in place, under which we provide performance awards to our employees based on their merits. With regard to developing a career path, we have had 74 people promoted to new roles thus far in 2015 to support their career growth. That being said, I am hoping you will reach out to your manager or HR to address where you learned the original data you provided so we can correct those souces. We would also be happy to work with you to identify a career path and what next steps might be.

      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.
