I sent a resume and received a rejection letter stating I wasn't a "fit." This is surprising, as I've sent the same resume to Amazon, Google, and LinkedIn and have received calls, follow-up interviews, and even an offer from one (which I declined as the move/relocation/team wasn't ideal for our family after researching it).
I found Asana and its culture description to be great. The product is excellent (we actually use it at my current workplace), and online it appeared to have a very appealing, open, and diverse culture.
I'm a bit surprised I "wasn't a fit," unless their diversity doesn't include more seasoned individuals (which could imply age discrimination).
Overall, it's been odd this past month. Every resume I've sent has been responded to with either a follow-up call, interview, or onsite interview. I applied for two positions at Asana, both for roles where I've delivered large-scale solutions that are still in use in the marketplace today.
Looking at the profiles of their current engineers on LinkedIn, the only difference I see is that I am more qualified and older. Apparently, the latter part weighs more negatively?
I'm not sure. If you are thinking of applying and are over 45, you might expect a pass from them.
Instead of a generic response here, I'd be curious to know if Asana has any real "diversity" numbers showing how many engineers they have that are over 45, broken down by gender (female/male).
If a tree falls in the wood and no one is there to file the bug, is it still a bug?
