Pros

Base pay is good, great perks, benefits are AMAZING. Very team oriented and collaborative. Truly the best and most kind hearted people I've ever worked with. Families are huge here and work flexibility is unlike anything I've seen. Parental leave is great. I actually list the 3 days per week in office as a pro, because everyone is in on the same days and you can plan your personal week well in advance. And the food and onsite gym are great.

Cons

Since the Salesforce folks came in, culture has changed dramatically. You have to CYA constantly and when things go wrong there has started to be a culture of blaming, and there's a huge emphasis on sales succeeding and we've thrown money at them for years now, with no deliverables. We also used to have a culture where it was common to change roles every couple of years, and Asana wanted to keep the good people around. But since the layoffs 2 years ago that has shifted and purse strings are very tight, meaning they don't support lateral moves anymore so career variety is not as good as it used to be.

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".
