No direction, weak leadership
No direction, weak leadership
Base salary is competitive with any FAANG.
Some intelligent, driven people are here, if you can find them.
Work-life balance is really good. I’d venture that almost everyone in engineering is working less than 50 hours per week.
The go-to-market strategy has been all over the place, with little conviction. Leaders do not trust their teams to get work done independently. You will be micromanaged by your director and above. There is no appetite for risk. I was hopeful because of all the high reviews here and on Blind, but it’s a very demotivating place to work. For a company trying to “empower the world’s teams to work together effortlessly,” it is incredibly hard to get anything done here. The tech stack is a liability because the documentation and training are so hard to grok. There is lots of middle management that doesn’t really add any value. They get in the way more than they help.
Lay off managers, not ICs. That's how you enforce accountability.

Asana Interview Questions
Asana Interview Experiences
Engineering Manager
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.
Engineering Manager
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.
Engineering Manager
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.
