I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Navan (Palo Alto, CA) in Dec 2019
Interview
I received a call from the recruiter and was able to quickly schedule a phone screen. The interview asked some algo/ds questions with reasonable candidate expectations. I got the feedback the next day and was invited onsite. They are willing to move slow or fast depending on the candidate's timelines.
I had around 4 interviews onsite. 1Behavioral, 2 Design, 1Coding. Everyone was super friendly and the recruiter gave me feedback the next day itself. At all points of the process, everyone was willing to answer my questions. My overall experience was very positive. Unfortunately, due to personal reasons, I had to decline the offer. I hope to work with them at some point in the future!
Thank you for sharing the context of your interview. We are glad you had a positive experience!
Feel free to directly reach out to your Talent Acquisition Partner in the future if your circumstances
change.

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.
Interview questions [1]
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.
