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

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".
