Pros

There are some good, talented people at Narvar. Unfortunately, most end up leaving once they realize what they’ve signed up for.

Cons

Poor leadership and culture. It starts and ends with the CEO. Company has plateaued but CEO won’t accept it and makes employees think it’s their fault. He runs company as a fear-based dictatorship where no one feels safe about their job, except a small inner circle who manipulate and control to get their way. The work environment is highly toxic. Employees constantly gossip and turn on one another, even those closest to the CEO. CEO has loyalty to no one but himself, and will do whatever means necessary to reach his goals, even if it means doing the unthinkable. Many, many good people have been churned through by him and his leadership team.

Pros

Decent Pay. ICs are great people. Nothing else

Cons

This was one of the most toxic work environments I have experienced. If you value your mental health and prefer a supportive, professional culture, this is not the right place. I spent two years at the company, and during that time leadership consistently fostered a culture of fear rather than growth. The executive team, particularly the CEO and CRO, operated in a very cliquey manner. Employees who were not part of the “in group” were often publicly criticized or called out in meetings in ways that felt more focused on humiliating or embarrassing the employee than being constructive. Once leadership decided they no longer favored an employee, the focus shifted to pushing them out rather than supporting improvement or success. This created widespread anxiety and distrust across teams. Morale was extremely low. Numerous high-performing employees left without roles lined up (which says a lot given the current job market), and it was common for employees to openly discuss interviewing elsewhere and counting down the days until they could resign. If you are looking for a workplace where leadership takes accountability, communicates respectfully, and treats employees with professionalism, this is likely not the right fit.
