Building a company built to last
Building a company built to last
Asana has a mature, mindful culture that prioritizes the health and development of its employees. I've grown more here than anywhere else, and the company is full of role models for me. There's a strong culture of distributed responsibility, and overall, employees are given a high amount of trust and opportunity.
The culture is also extremely transparent and competent. If you're curious about how businesses are built, Asana is a great place to learn.
Also, the food, coaching, yoga programs, and office are all top-notch. It's a great lifestyle, and people generally work hard but take the "marathon not a sprint" mentality.
We generally take a long-term approach to things, and we're tackling an extremely hard product problem. This requires a little more patience than your average consumer social media startup.

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.
