Unclear priorities, lack of job security - Annonyous Navro Employee Review

There’s a lot of trust and freedom in how you work. You get plenty of space to make decisions, take initiative, and suggest new tools or ways of doing things. The company genuinely wants to build a strong culture — the People team puts effort into trainings that help managers grow as leaders and give better feedback. There’s also a clear focus on developing people and supporting those who want to improve in certain areas. The flexibility’s a big plus too — being able to work from abroad and spend time with family or your partner while keeping things running smoothly is awesome.

Sometimes it feels like the main focus is on hitting revenue targets (which is fair for a startup), but it can create quite a bit of pressure. Also, salary increases seem to happen more often in product and sales, which can feel a bit uneven across teams.

Big vision and strong sales pitch which gets attention from big names. The new office is in a great location. Some of the people are really nice.

Navro did have a lot of promise and the chance to build something genuinely exciting. But payment curation was never properly scoped, the build was rushed and the outcome is a product that doesn't work. Clients spend months onboarding only to find it doesn’t deliver as sold. Most never ramp and leave, which says it all. Instead of fixing the fundamentals, leadership chases the next thing e.g. Stablecoins or AI prototypes. These sound great but never get implemented, all the while we still can’t reliably deliver many of the currencies we advertise. Frequent redundancies and sudden departures mean valuable talent and knowledge keep walking out the door. Pay is also sub-par. The company does a regular LinkedIn post about attempts to hire an Enterprise Sales role, dangling a 'Free' $10k for a referral, yet we are told there’s no budget for pay rises or bonuses because targets aren’t met. There’s still potential, but right now Navro feels more like it's putting out fires than building towards long-term success.
