Pros

Asana does a great job of building an engaging and consistent culture across the company. The benefits are great, the onsite culinary team is very good at what they do, and people seem to enjoy their jobs and believe in what they're building.

Cons

It can be difficult to make any meaningful changes because the team is moving so fast and things that aren't the top priority fall off the roadmap. Some recent hires shifted the power dynamic and it felt really top down in terms of strategy and the more stress on the manager, the more they micromanage. I watched people good at their job get micromanaged into decreased performance.

Pros

There's real enduring culture where people care about doing really good work. The culture is friendly with strong camaraderie amongst the individual employees, and managers try to do right by their reports.

Cons

Quarterly reorgs, quiet role reductions, and slowly stripping away benefits has made morale worse than ever. It may have been worthwhile if the business was getting better, but it's pretty flat and attrition is very high. With the introduction of the new CEO, Dan Rogers, there's been a clear shift to hard capitalism and people as numbers. Problems have been solved in short-sighted ways, causing discontent even within the leadership ranks. The company was losing some steam beforehand, but now it's "a ship trying to make a sharp turn and keeling over, just barely not capsizing".
