Pros

Great people and product, people go out of their way to help each other and collaborate. Company is growing and yet still has been able to maintain the culture we’ve had since the beginning.

Cons

As someone who interfaces with our Board of Directors, many of us cannot fathom why we have Sydney as part of the team. She is horrible to work with, incredibly arrogant. She is openly despised and disrespected at her company where she is CFO. Our leadership and the rest of the board represent the best of Asana. Surely we can’t be that desperate for female representation on our board that we needed to scrape the bottom of the barrel with her.

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".
