Pros

Asana is great at supporting people's growth. I have grown a lot more here than at my previous company and in less amount of time. Asana has the mentorship culture built in, from onboarding buddies, to program lead mentors, to managers who are focused on coaching. Asana also is eager to invest in people, so employees get stretch assignments and support in learning how to do them, even if in the short term things move a bit slower. Asana is also a great place to have impact. As a small, but fast growing company, every new feature we add changes how users use asana and how their teams collaborate. It's very rewarding to know that you have this impact. As we are in this high growth stage, it's also nice to know that employees can have a lot of impact in shaping the culture. And lastly, as a minority in tech, I appreciate that not only are there people like me here, but that my white male coworkers and manager often show up as my allies, amplifying my voice, and making sure I'm supported and have the same opportunities even if I don't ask for them myself.

Cons

I don't love the location in the Mission, but we are moving

Pros

There's real enduring culture where people care about doing really good work. The culture is friendly with strong camaraderie amongst the individual employees, and managers try to do right by their reports.

Cons

Quarterly reorgs, quiet role reductions, and slowly stripping away benefits has made morale worse than ever. It may have been worthwhile if the business was getting better, but it's pretty flat and attrition is very high. With the introduction of the new CEO, Dan Rogers, there's been a clear shift to hard capitalism and people as numbers. Problems have been solved in short-sighted ways, causing discontent even within the leadership ranks. The company was losing some steam beforehand, but now it's "a ship trying to make a sharp turn and keeling over, just barely not capsizing".
