I was recruited by an external recruiter who could not have been more helpful in this process! I had an inspiring, engaging, informative video call with the hiring manager in the US who helped me understand the responsibilities of the role and the specific needs of their office/market. I had never heard someone speak with so much authentic positivity about their job and company. 30 minutes later the recruiter called and informed they’d like to bring me onsite. I met with the country manager and came prepared with lots of questions, which made up the bulk of the interview. He told me in person he’d be moving me on to the panel round. The rest happened very fast - I got an email one week later on Thursday morning asking if I’d be free to come in the following day for 3 back-to-back 45 minute interviews as well as prepare a 30 minute mock client presentation. I met with the existing CSM, 2 sales team members, and a pre-sales engineer, then presented to all of them, as well as the country manager, the hiring manager in the US (on video) and another CSM in the US. It was full on, and I remained positive and energetic despite feeling a little in over my head. Everyone was lovely and provided constructive criticism. I was asked to meet again with the hiring manager in the US the next day (Saturday morning) to debrief the presentation and answer more questions. I got a strong inkling to prepare a 30-60-90 day impact plan and I’m glad I did, because you bet it was asked. She asked me more questions about how I prioritize, what I’m good at, etc. I was scheduled to meet with Asana’s internal recruiter 3 days later to share my background and interest in the role with her; she was kind and friendly and told me they’d be meeting about me right after our call, and she’d come back to me for references. I was so sure I’d found my dream role and company with Asana and I was absolutely crushed to find out I was not chosen. The only feedback I got was the team was looking for a bit more signal in terms of your prioritization as well and more depth across your answers. Despite the outcome, this was the best company and group of people I came across while interviewing at nearly 10 different companies. I feel they are under fantastic leadership, hire fantastic people, and have a strong moral compass. 10/10 would recommend and interview again.
