      Software Engineer Interview

      I interviewed at Asana

      Interview

      Standard interview process: coding round, recruiter screen, phone interview and onsite. The coding round was easy enough but they don't use a platform and expect you to submit a plain text document and they don't let you validate against the format of output they were expecting. The technical phone interview was complex but doable. They really care about how you think. I liked this part and the engineer was good. The recruiter was amazing with feedback and in scheduling my onsite interview with necessary accommodations. Now for the onsite interview which essentially made me feel bitter. It was all so nice until then. I've given a lot of interviews and even if I didn't get the offer I felt that the other companies I interviewed at respected the candidates but not Asana . The minute I entered the office, (it looked like not many were there yet) I was greeted by an employee and instead of just pointing me to where I had to wait he mentioned "If you get in, this is a great place to work" I found that odd and kind of annoying as he could have just said "This is a great place to work" instead of mentioning the part of "If I could get in". Post that I had 3 rounds of interviews with one round being a written coding test and being quizzed on my answers with 2 interviews. One of them was nice while the other wasn't friendly in the least. During lunch you get to meet people who worked there and I got the sense that everyone felt self-entitled, and felt they were "making the world a better place" so was not really sure I liked it. Post lunch there were some interviews and after I was done the recruiter walked me out and informed me in a day that I didn't get through. Every other company I interviewed at were pleasant experiences, from the get go of the onsite Asana just seemed like a place with people who thought they knew everything.

      Hi there. Thank you for your feedback. As Asana’s recruiting lead and someone who has been on the team for three years now, I’d like to apologize for the fact that multiple Asanas came across as self-entitled to you during your interviews. While I am proud of working at Asana and encourage my teammates to share in that feeling, there are many ways to express it in a way that is humble and egoless without making others feel less-than. Your comment is a reminder to find that balance and create an environment that’s inclusive to all—whether they are Asana employees or not. The candidate experience is something we value highly. It’s a chance to get to know candidates’ personalities and their skills. It’s also an opportunity for candidates to get to know us better and decide whether Asana is the right place for them. While I’m sorry for the way our team came across to you, thank you for your honesty and the reminder to keep our values in mind while expressing our enthusiasm for working here. We’ve shared your feedback with the team and hope that this doesn’t happen again.

      I applied online. I interviewed at Asana in May 2026

      Interview

      Initial screening went well and I felt genuinely excited about the opportunity. The technical interview itself was different from what the preparation PDF described — less collaborative, minimal engagement from the interviewer's side. I didn't receive any feedback after the session; the interviewer went on sick leave and I waited several weeks before receiving a rejection email. I'm fine with rejection — that's part of the process. What was harder was the uncertainty and the lack of feedback. The prep materials set clear expectations around collaboration and communication, and the actual experience didn't match that.

      Difficult interview

      Application

      I interviewed at Asana in Feb 2026

      Interview

      Overall, it was a good experience. There was one interviewer who acted standoff-ish and strange. But, for the most part, it was conducted very professionally. What I didn't like was the Systems interview question, which is a very specific modelling problem and unless you've worked on building such a feature, it's unlikely that you'll recognize such a pattern and come up with a decent solution. And for a mid-level position, it's quite surprising. But I guess they gotta justify the high comps somehow. Also, infrastructure knowledge is not tested at all in this interview, which is atypical. The coding interviews were great. Study typical LLD problems. Leetcode is minimal and simple. Focus on understanding patterns and not memorizing solutions. The HM interview was great. He probed in ways typical EMs have never done before, and it gave me a really good impression of the company and his team, despite also not passing this interview, which I take full responsibility for.
