I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Navan (Palo Alto, CA) in Nov 2019
Interview
Pretty standard process. One tech phone screen and 4 onsite interviews. Questions were not that difficult. At least one interviewer was not clear with what he wanted. Kept changing his requirements. Very poor communication. I would say try saving your time if you are looking for a productive interview.

Application
I interviewed at Navan (San Francisco, CA) in Dec 2025
Interview
AI first round interview, had timer set for 20 minutes, and cut off strictly at the time, so I was cut-off midway through my answer. Wish they would have the usual 1st round screen with a recruiter instead of using AI.

Question 1
Can you talk about your experience collaborating with product managers and designers?
Great Process - Quality Questions, Quality Interviewers, Good conversations, time bound. Diverse panel of interviewers. Good Mix of technical and cultural questions. Detailed feedback for each round.
I wasn't offered a contract, but it was a positive experience.
It was pretty short (because I only made it to the end of the first round), and the interviewer was really nice and concise. The technical questions were on the easy side, and the behavioral questions were just a conversation.
