Pros
  • Compensation is pretty good, and stocks are going up right now.
  • Interesting product to work on.
  • Colleagues are great so far.
  • Dogfooding — using Asana to build Asana makes you so much more involved.
  • Office location is just 2 blocks from metro Centrum, so it's pretty easy to commute.
  • Since the company came to Warsaw pretty recently, you can still affect and build office atmosphere.
  • Pretty generous office days lunch allowance.
Cons

Most cons are related to the office being opened pretty recently, so I expect things to get better in many areas.

  • Accounting is outsourced, and folks from Asia don't know much about Polish taxes and legal stuff, so you have to explain things to them sometimes — I'd prefer the opposite.
  • Asana helps with the legalization process, but it's pretty slow.
  • Some perks common for companies in Poland have not been established yet (like Multisport).
  • AFAIK, some big tech companies in Warsaw like Google and Microsoft reimburse commute and/or parking expenses — unfortunately, that's not the case here.
  • Two pretty senior folks have been let go while still on probation during the past few weeks — it affected morale since we still know everybody in the office, and a lot of people are still on probation as well.
  • More flexibility with WFH would be appreciated.
Advice to Management

Don't let bureaucracy slow down Warsaw's office maturing in terms of being a real part of Asana.
