Creative and fun - Anonymous employee NavigationArts Employee Review

NavigationArts is a standout company! It is a fast-paced work environment that grooms employees to be creative and critical thinkers. The amount of effort the company puts into the development of its employees is outstanding. They really want to see every person grow (coming from a few jobs where this was not the case, I can really appreciate it). The relaxed office environment is a great benefit, as well as, the company provided snakcs and drinks! All of the employees are very approachable to new hires and help foster that encouraging/developing environmnet. I can see myself staying here for a long time!

While it is not in DC, McLean is not too far of a commute and with the newly opened Silver Line, I can take the metro quicker than I could drive!

NavigationArts is a fast paced, driven, value minded consultancy. As a consultancy it faces the same feast or famine landscape that any other mid-size firm encounters, but it does so with an eye towards picking great clients and finding even better team members. Having worked at NavigationArts for years, I’ve seen what a challenging environment it can be. Yes, it is hard work. Anyone who has ever worked at a consultancy worth its salt knows that consulting means longer hours, hard deadlines, and the reality of working a business solution through a creative and technical process. However, with challenge come rewards; NavigationArts has a Grade-A client list, amazing talent, and a vision firmly planted in the roots of its rich history in user experience. Over the last decade, the firm has evolved, maturing its client delivery techniques, but also internally become the business that drives a culture of success and professional collaboration.

With the hard work and dedicated talent, often egos arise. It's tempting to give in to need to be right, but staying above the fray works best. At a mid-size firm, gossip is bound to happen. It's no different at NavArts but for the most part its normal office politics.
