Pros

There's opportunity to impact the company and product at every level of the company. The AoR system means ownership and expertise are placed where they most make sense - not just with managers. We are a company of peers. Everyone is thoughtful about their work and their actions; from operations and facilities to product and marketing (and everything in between) That means our space, benefits, product, and message are solid. The co-founders are here every day and totally accessible.We ship. We actively learn from each other and see "failures" as opportunities. If something's not working we'll say so and figure out how to improve. I've worked at a lot of different companies; big, small, consulting, in-house, start-up and old school...Asana is magical.

Cons

Depending on how you like to work, these may or may not be "cons" - There is a lot of autonomy and you have to be ready to handle that immediately. - We're growing fast, not everything is already figured out. - It's pretty flat. There's no real sense of "moving up" or "climbing" so some of things you may have done at other companies that made you successful, may not work here. - There is a LOT of visibility into the work you're doing, so if you're not used to it, you can feel a little exposed.

Pros

Asana has the very rare combination of proven leaders, authentic culture and transparency which makes me believe it will be the best place I'll ever work at. We are all working towards the ultimate mission of helping humanity thrive by making teamwork effortless. We're powered by an amazing product, successful business model, global roster of customers and a collection of talented peers. Transparency - What you read about Asana is true and when you get here it lives up to the hype. I've been hear over a year and there's still no surprises. Episode structure/OKRs - We believe in clarity of purpose, plan and responsibilities and the company strives to empower everyone to contribute in the most meaningful way. This combined with a group of passionate peers, makes it easy to learn, and drive impact. Culture - Mindful and authentic peers eliminates the unnecessary office politics that drain your energy and disrupt your flow. You can truly do your best work here.

Cons

Flat structure can make it challenging to carve out a longer career path so you have to be proactive and leverage your manager/coach to pave your own path.

Pros

I couldn't imagine working anywhere else. Yes, we have all of the 'showy' startup tech company things (snacks, chefs, standing desks, couches, etc) but the best part about being an Asana is working with people who practice the company values everyday. I pinch myself everyday that I get to sit/stand work next to these amazing human beings on the daily. Meetings consist of such great insight and passion for improving our product and not about doing things for personal reasons.

Cons

Asana is all about empowering its employees and when I first started this was very different than what I was used to. I guess this isn't a true con, but something to be aware of when you start. You get to make your own executive and thought out decisions that better the product/company.
