Friendly but almost toooo friendly. Cut me off multiple times to hype up their own success and limited my ability to talk about my experience and qualifications for the position. seemed judgmental and was a bit off putting. Seems like a frat house and comp is no where near comparable to other entry level tech companies.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Tell me about yourself. Biggest misconception of you? Why did you choose to go to that university and study XYZ? Why work in this city? Why tech sales? Why Navan?
Straightforward, normal SDR interview process. recruiter screen, hiring manager/SDR leader interview, and one skills-focused conversation, all in a cold-call scenario. The typical why you, why sales, why now. Do your research and have a strong why.

Past experiences?
I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Navan in Mar 2026
Interview
Had one screening call, and it was one of the weirdest interviews I've ever had. The interviewer sounded like AI, and it didn't seem like any of my answers were even being listened to. I would talk for about a minute or two, answering questions, and the interviewer wouldn't even react or give feedback, just go straight into the next question. A waste of my time.
Overall pretty standard. Only got to second round so it was all virtual in my experience. Their energy is very much like the typical SF based saas company maturing into going public.
