Pros

• The mission is legit and most people do care about helping other teams thrive/succeed by using the product. • Higher management is full of smart & experienced people. Lots to learn from if you try hard enough to learn from it. • Software is internally used to manage your daily workload (and it works!) • Your teammates are generally fun • Lots of opportunities to grow your skill-set if you're in Ops

Cons

• People managers are generally inexperienced and given way too much trust • "Transparency" existed for a minute and then was wiped out of the organization • Overly serious about itself and how playful it is, but never really feels adult • Conscious Leadership Group never stops feels like a Corporate Philosophy • Compensation is way below market and receiving positive adjustments to that in a way that feels "timely" is almost impossible • HR/People Ops problems rarely get fixed and are swept deep under the rug • You will work more hours a day than you'd probably expect, partly because there some how aren't enough people to do the work and the work will still be expected of you.

Pros

Very friendly and helpful peers and managers Excellent experience learning to do software engineering work at a place with good engineering standards Really talented engineers Customers love the product Decently interesting technical challenges Work life balance is good, although not as good as places where there just isn’t enough work to do (e.g. LinkedIn or some teams at google)

Cons

Compensation is way below market, especially for experienced engineers. They have an unrealistic view of market comp, which means you will get limited raises and no refreshers until your initial grant finishes vesting Product oriented org means there is a lot of red tape for engineers to ship new features unless they have already been approved by the product people. Lots of tech debt Although the culture is above average, the constant patting on the back of how great the Asana culture is tends to get grating. We don’t need to keep hearing how awesome our culture is - let’s work on making it better. Lack of clarity - regarding advancement due to lack of levels, and regarding getting approval due to lack of clear hierarchy.

Pros

Great Benefits Awesome office Culinary Team A lot of genuinely good people

Cons

Asana has done a great job at portraying a great company culture but after a few months I've quickly realized it's just a great marketing team. I think there may be some teams that really uphold the values of the company but I've experienced a very different culture. It's cliquey and micromanaging.
