Great work culture - Terrible management that lack transperancy - werkgeversreview Senior Software Engineer bij Navro

Remote work, colleagues are supportive, helpful, and easy to work with.

There is a noticeable lack of job security, as the company has gone through multiple rounds of redundancies. Management direction can sometimes feel inconsistent, with priorities shifting frequently. At times, senior management appears to become involved in lower-level business functions, including engineering practices, which can affect team autonomy and delivery. Compensation is below market rate, and there does not appear to be a regular annual salary review process.

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.
