Process

It was a coding challenge followed by a phone screen. I thought that I bombed part of the phone interview, so when I was invited for an onsite, I was super excited. I had an onsite that included two whiteboard interviews (with both algorithms and OOP questions). I was also given some time to work on a coding assignment and then did a code review with two engineers.

The whole process was great. I felt like, more than any company I've ever interviewed at, Asana didn't just want to see me jump through hoops but really cared about understanding me, what I was looking for, and tried to understand my abilities in a more holistic way.

The whiteboard interviews were much more collaborative than anywhere else I've experienced; it felt like I was working with the interviewer rather than against them. They also gave me a lot of chances to talk to engineers in a non-evaluative setting, which helped me ask a lot of important questions.

Questions

I don't believe in giving away interview questions.
