Pros

Asana is a fantastic place to work. When I first joined, I experienced thorough and thoughtful on-boarding, including a dedicated two-week "bootcamp" to learn all about Asana's engineering systems and practices. Because of the bootcamp, help from on-boarding members, and widespread support from Asana's engineers, I was quickly able to contribute meaningfully to the Asana codebase. Asana's engineering team is strong and values technical design, code quality, documentation, sharing learnings, and fixing problems even if you weren't the one who caused them. Experienced engineers care about the learning of new hires and less experienced engineers and will answer questions, pair program, and review code to ensure this happens. Regarding career development, my manager is very interested in learning about my short, medium, and long term goals and supporting me to reach them. At Asana, it's possible to try a lot of different roles outside of being an individual contributor, for example helping with recruiting or leading a project, and you can quickly take on lots of responsibility if that's appealing to you. Individual and group achievements are widely recognized and appreciated. All my coworkers are great communicators and it makes them easy to work with. Another huge plus of working at Asana is that you use the Asana app all the time as part of your job. You quickly appreciate its value and become even more motivated to improve it. Other perks include free food, great hardware, and a highly flexible vacation policy. Overall I'm thrilled to be part of a company that cares so much about its employees' well-being and development and I find it I incredibly motivating to work among people who believe in and care deeply about the product.

Cons

The work is highly collaborative, which might be a con for someone who likes to work more independently. I'm a pretty introverted person though and I'm finding that the support of my manager and shared goals with my coworkers make the collaboration useful and interesting instead of difficult or draining.

Pros

-Incredible culture where everyone is encouraged to be honest, collaborative, trust worthy and to have a growth mindset (= true culture, not just pizza Fridays and ping pong tables!) -People before profit (yes, profit matters but there's genuine empathy and leading with EQ top down) -An inspiring leader (Dustin) who is an incredible human being, and that trickles down to the management/leadership hired -Authenticity and integrity is encouraged; we are unique with our own qualities- and Asana genuinely embraces that and doesn't ask it's people to be something they're not -We use Asana internally, which is testament to it's value within a large organization, and that's an incredibly powerful as a solution seller -People are encouraged to show up but the only way to show up is to be at your 100%- no questions asked, no judgement if you need PTO -Incredible people who are great at what they do, incredible product, incredible leaders- and being thought leaders who provide solutions for problems organizations aren't necessarily aware that they even have- how exciting is it to be a part of that?

Cons

-Number of internal apps can be overwhelming (leadership are definitely working on this) -Frequency/number of internal meetings can also be challenging -We have something special here, so it could take an unexpected turn for the worse; however, based on what I've seen thus far, Asana is only going to grow, attract more like-minded people, and to continue it's trajectory in being successful. So, if you're talented, have something to give, and want to be a part of something special- come onboard- you won't regret it!
