Pros: I'm still learning, but I appreciate how thoughtful things are done at this company. I never used the product before, but I love it. I like how they track progress on their corporate values. I appreciate their goals as a company and the healthy way they try to treat people.

Cons: The onboarding process, while thorough, is quite time-consuming, so a large portion of my time has been spent dealing with this. I'm starting on more program work and looking forward to that. There have been quite a few people leaving since I started, some folks who have been here a long time. I'm watching to see if this is systemic of something larger or just natural attrition within a large company.

Pros: The biggest compliment that I can give Asana is that this is the first time in my career where I actually feel motivated to contribute to my company's mission and success. I genuinely feel like this company cares for its employees, and as a result, the employees are motivated to care about the company and everyone in it. Ever since I joined, I've never experienced a greater sense of camaraderie and positive energy. Everyone here is so social, selfless, and enjoyable to work with. If you believe that you can contribute to this type of culture, then look no further!

Cons: The only complaint that I have (that is also shared by many others here) is about the mandatory Return to Office policy. If Asana was flexible on this policy and at least allowed employees to choose whether they want to be hybrid in office or fully remote, then this company would be absolutely perfect.

Pros: 1. If you work here, you will learn how to run a project effectively and become an effective communicator by just observing how they typically do things. This will set you up for the rest of your career. 2. Wellness and work-life balance are promoted. Team leads and managers encourage taking breaks and not working 12 hours a day or weekends. 3. They hire people who are collaborative (read: friendly & helpful). Communication is non-confrontational, and I have not yet run into "personality issues". 4. Engineering talent is not only top-notch but also diverse (including people with families and people with decades of experience). 5. As long as you are fulfilling expectations, you are not pushed to work extra hours and can remain employed indefinitely. 6. You can optionally sign up for additional responsibilities should you feel ambitious and want to have a broad impact. 7. There's a culture of appreciation and giving credit. Your name will typically be mentioned in feature announcements and project updates. Managers and colleagues will typically show appreciation for your work in meetings and online channels. 8. There's a culture of transparency. There's an abundance of Asana projects where you can ask questions, report issues, or post feedback. Anyone can thumbs up or chime in. It's the opposite of the sweatshop "hustle culture" that's all too common in the startup world.

Cons: 1. There are scaling challenges relating to developer tooling, and new best practices and patterns are constantly being discovered. 2. Legacy code can slow you down if you happen to hit them. 3. The compensation is well above average, though not as high as FAANG.
