Asana is great at supporting people's growth. I have grown a lot more here than at my previous company and in less time. Asana has a built-in mentorship culture, from onboarding buddies to program lead mentors to managers who are focused on coaching. Asana is also eager to invest in people, so employees get stretch assignments and support in learning how to do them, even if in the short term things move a bit slower.
Asana is also a great place to have impact. As a small but fast-growing company, every new feature we add changes how users use Asana and how their teams collaborate. It's very rewarding to know that you have this impact. As we are in this high growth stage, it's also nice to know that employees can have a lot of impact in shaping the culture.
And lastly, as a minority in tech, I appreciate that not only are there people like me here, but that my white male coworkers and manager often show up as my allies, amplifying my voice, and making sure I'm supported and have the same opportunities even if I don't ask for them myself.
I don't love the location in the Mission, but we are moving.
There are a total of seven interviews. The focus is on coaching reports (be prepared to talk about your history in doing that) and some technical competency. I was asked to design a simple dTa model to support a single function.
I had an interview with a recruiter from New York for a position in Reykjavik. I was totally ghosted after it. She didn’t reply to my emails with requests for a follow-up or feedback. Don’t waste your time with this company.
Asana required an initial recruiter screen, followed by a peer manager interview focused on management techniques. This was succeeded by an architecture screen that included database theory, and concluded with a six-and-a-half-hour onsite interview.
