Pros

Competitive compensation, company invests heavily on employee wellbeing (office facilities, HR/Enablement/Ops ect departments)

Cons

Sales team has extremely high attrition rate. For a variety of reasons, Asana seems to be getting hit especially hard by macro-economic challenges, and the sales team is going through a lot of strategic and operational changes to adapt. Like a lot of tech companies in similar situations, the sales team is the first on the "chopping block". Sales reps are being fired at an alarmingly high rate (though the sales team is still aggressively hiring). If you are an experienced/skilled/hardworking salesperson, your success will not be guaranteed. The company is firing a lot of under-skilled AEs, but a lot of quality AEs are also getting caught up in the purge. The Asana sales team is going through a lot of structural and cultural changes. Even if you are an experienced AE, if you are thinking of working at Asana I would only suggest it if you have Asana AEs in your network that can give you intel, and I would wait until at least H2 2024 to see how things shape out.

Pros

-Good base pay -Many kind and well-meaning colleagues -Reasonable attitude towards RTO

Cons

This review specifically pertains to the revenue team. In the last year or so, the ugliest, most avaricious and nakedly cruel management culture I've encountered in my 15 year career has taken hold. Politics and nepotism abound, high performers get put on PIP for minor solvable issues, and the new CRO has accelerated this. Most of the team knows they're one wrong move away from being "disappeared" as one of my former colleagues put it. A few words will be spoken about how someone is "no longer with us" and that they care how you feel about it, with just enough malevolence and insincerity to remind you that you could be next. As a result, Asana has the highest-stress work environment imaginable, boiler room type stuff. Seemingly good people will turn on you in a heartbeat. You'll work 50-60 hour weeks regularly, your time consumed by customers not for sales but because Asana keeps cutting the staff that know enough to help them. If you're lucky, you'll get close to making quota by ripping & running dozens of small deals and upgrades, because there's no real process or organization behind our sales motions.
