Asana Work Experiences
5.0
Aligned with customers and leadership
Software Engineer • Current Employee
San Francisco, California, United States
January 10, 2024
Pros: Leadership is good human beings and competent.
Mission does not have dubious secondary consequences.
Generally a great culture -- not perfect (a bit too "nice" / slow) but very non-toxic and safe.
Cons: Growth has slowed, so career advancement isn't guaranteed rocket-ship stuff.
4.0
Overall, a great place to start a job

Pros: I think Asana was a great place to start your career.
Lot of smart people and opportunities to grow as a new grad.
There is a big emphasis on learning, and many people are willing to help you.
Cons: As I progressed, I felt there weren't many interesting opportunities or ways to grow. It felt like people were fighting for big projects to be able to put them on promo packets.

Great people, okay technology
Software Engineer • Current Employee
San Francisco, California, United States

Pros: The people are the kindest, most helpful, and collaborative I've had the pleasure of working with in my career, by far.
Cons: The technology is a little outdated, a little under-invested in, and a little sprawling. Not the worst I've seen, but it could be better for a company of their size.
