Working under the Sword of Damocles - Sales Asana Employee Review

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.
