Pros: Coming from a small company (~20 people), I was worried about finding a larger company that had the same values: trust of individual employees, respect for each other, psychological safety, the value of diversity on teams, working in an organized way with clear roles and responsibilities, etc. I was lucky to find Asana! It's a much larger organization, but it's amazing how much they've been able to scale the things mentioned above that I find important to my day-to-day experience of being at work. And these values really do seem to go all the way up to the top leadership, rather than just being "window dressing". Asana is not a perfect place, but especially right now, it's a very, very good place to be.

Cons: For those who don't like process or tend to work in a stream-of-consciousness or intuitive way, you may find some of the structure and tooling at Asana annoying or cumbersome. I'd encourage you to lean into trying some of the things to see what you learn, and then challenging the things that are truly not useful. (Asana seems open to changing tools and processes as well!) Also, sometimes decisions can be overly considered, but it's something that leadership is aware of and working on.

Pros: - Smart engineering colleagues - Fresh tech stack - High growth and a lot of learning - Great food, perks, and office

Cons: - Low psychological safety - Need to stay not just on top of your work, but ahead of it

Pros: Asana has the strongest team I have worked with, and the team is what keeps me coming back every day.

Cons: The mindfulness and balance approach can lead to times where everyone is carefully considering the next step. This can feel frustrating in the moment, but is often good in the long term.
