Empowerment and Non-linear Career Growth
Empowerment and Non-linear Career Growth
• Really strong executive leadership in all parts of the company. • Great culture, always self-reflective and willing to evolve. • Business growth has really accelerated over the past couple of years: upside! • Managers are evaluated on the growth of their reports, not any particular team's deliverables, so they're really looking out for your growth. • You can design your own growth path, not confined to just one or two tracks like at most companies. • Engineers are given a lot of trust, even on non-technical things. • Surrounded by people who think "working together effectively" is an interesting problem.
It's harder to get a clear checklist of "do these X things and get a raise."
Hard to know when to JFDI versus get feedback.
Don't be afraid to lead from the front, instead of just supporting from behind.

Asana Interview Experiences
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.

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
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.
