      Software Engineer Interview

      I interviewed at Asana

      Interview

      I had a coding challenge, a phone-interview and an on-site interview. The initial phone screen and the first interview of the on-site was fine. The interviews were enjoyable and resulted in a reasonable reflection of my ability. The interviewers were courteous and supportive. The last on-site interview, however, was the worst interview that I have ever had. During this interview, the interviewer came across as distracted, aggressive and increasingly frustrated. It felt obvious that he had already decided to fail me. I perceived him to be programming during the interview, rather than taking notes, which was off-putting. He seemed visibly frustrated each time he gave me a hint, and seemed to make this very clear to me. He made one or two sarcastic comments during the interview and by the end he had lost all interest in answering my questions. It is a single data point and it may have just been an engineer having a really bad day or I may have made a misjudgement in my assessment. That being said, my overall description would be that the interview left me feeling small and humiliated. The experience was so bad, that had I been extended an offer, I would have seriously considered choosing elsewhere based on this single experience*. Upon reading Glassdoor, it seems this experience corroborates with another negative interview experience. For each Glassdoor review, there will be many more similar interview experiences in which the candidates did not write a review. Based on the Glassdoor sample, 10% (2/20) of Asana's software engineering interviews resulted in the candidate having the worst interview experience they’ve ever had. Engineer time and interviews are expensive, so Asana has an incentive to fix this. However, the most damaging aspect is probably that it hurts the reputation of the company, which reduces the likelihood of attracting great people. *Asana is a small company, so if you are considering working here, it is likely that you will work alongside this engineer.

      Hi, I'm part of the technical recruiting team here at Asana, and wanted to respond to your review—our apologies for the delay! While we're pleased to hear that the majority of your interviews went well, I wanted to sincerely apologize for the nature of your final on-site interview. The treatment that you received is inexcusable—nobody should feel small and humiliated after an interview, and making a candidate feel that way goes against all of our interview training and principles. We've taken your feedback, as well as other interview feedback that you've referenced here, and are addressing it across the team in the hopes that future candidates don't have the same experience. Thank you again for your feedback—without it, we wouldn't have been made aware of the kinds of experiences candidates are having, or been able to take the steps to ensure that it doesn't happen again.
