Process
Oh boy.
The recruiter was great. They scheduled a phone screen titled "systems interview". It's not systems; it was data structures and algorithms, which is fine. There was nothing about systems or scale.
The interviewer was very rigid and not collaborative at all. I'm pretty sure they assumed my attempts at collaboration meant I didn't know what I was talking about. I was seeking to course-correct and clarify, but alas.
The one piece of feedback I'd give Asana is to not have staff engineers interviewed by someone with less years of experience. It really shows in the interviewer's skills, as I mentioned above.
The question was okay. If you know your DS&A, you can go through it just fine.

Asana Work Experiences
- 5.0Great people, mission, leadershipSoftware Engineer • Current EmployeeSan Francisco, California, United StatesAugust 9, 2022Pros: Even during the difficult market times of 2022, Asana seems to be doing great! The management is very considerate of employee perspectives. There are regular all-hands where most pressing questions are answered. I feel confident working here, even during a global market slowdown. Unlike many other new tech companies, you can see and feel that Asana's product and mission are actually useful. Team and people culture - everyone is respected a lot. I have never felt or even heard of any bad attitude or mistreatment.Cons: Nothing really. The stock went down a lot in the past year, but that was after a big increase and seems to be similar to other growth tech companies.
- 5.0Great place to work; the culture is unbeatableSoftware Engineer • Current EmployeeAugust 15, 2022Pros: * Competitive pay and bonuses. * Office with great perks, including gourmet meals that are delicious and mindful. * CULTURE: Everyone here is empathetic, communicative, and open. There is a lot of focus on trust and transparency, all the way down from the highest level.Cons: The only con I can think of is that they are enforcing hybrid work, where you have to go into the office thrice a week.
- 5.0Great company with welcoming peopleSoftware Engineer • Current EmployeeSan Francisco, California, United StatesMay 31, 2022Pros: Everyone is friendly, and there's a big push for mental health awareness, honesty, and "bringing your whole self to work." The work is exciting without the deadlines being too stressful. Work-life balance is good.Cons: While there is increased acceptance of mental health struggles, there's still a long way to go. As soon as you need time off due to mental health struggles, the environment becomes more hostile.
