Pros

Asana has a mature, mindful culture that prioritizes the health and development of its employees. I've grown more here than anywhere else, and the company is full of role models for me. There's a strong culture of distributed responsibility, and overall employees are given a high amount of trust and opportunity. The culture is also extremely transparent and competent. If you're curious about how businesses are built, Asana is a great place to learn. Also the food, coaching, yoga programs and office are all top-notch. It's a great lifestyle, and people generally work hard but take the "marathon not a sprint" mentality.

Cons

We generally take a long-term approach to things, and we're tackling an extremely hard product problem, so it requires a little more patience than your average consumer social media startup.

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".
