Software Engineer Interview Experience - San Francisco, California
Process
A recruiter emailed me and scheduled a call. I was then scheduled for a technical screen with one of the engineers. I was asked two questions. As there was no NDA, I am revealing the questions:
- Verify if a tree is a BST
- Jigsaw puzzle
I answered both but got a standard rejection email the next day without any proper feedback. I had mentioned that I had seen the questions before, and the interviewer was OK with it. I was really looking forward to working with a growing company like Asana, but I am not sure why I got rejected. It would be great if you could provide some kind of feedback to candidates, which will help them in their job hunt. :)

Asana Work Experiences
- 4.0Great place to workSoftware Engineer • Current EmployeeSan Francisco, California, United StatesFebruary 5, 2024Pros: - People EIQ is way better than your avg tech company. - Not the same promotion farm and stakeholder havoc as other big tech companies. - Interesting tech problems to solve, and not enough people to do it, though not overbearing on work/life balance if you're an IC, at least.Cons: The backend tech stack is split between Scala and Typescript, although the company is standardizing on Typescript now. Many decisions to create own services rather than open-source or industry standard solutions left a lot of lava layers and tech debt. Sentiment on company growth is not bad but also not great.
- 5.0Aligned with customers and leadershipSoftware Engineer • Current EmployeeSan Francisco, California, United StatesJanuary 10, 2024Pros: 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.
- 5.0Definitely work thereSoftware Engineer • Former EmployeeSan Francisco, California, United StatesJuly 16, 2024Pros: It's nice. I need to add more words.Cons: Some things aren't nice. Words.
