Culture Overview

What it's really like to work at Asana

Co-founded by Dustin Moskovitz (Facebook co-founder) and Justin Rosenstein in 2008, Asana builds the work management platform used by teams at Amazon, Google, and thousands of other organizations. The company is unusually intentional about culture — publishing its engineering values publicly, investing heavily in D&I, and maintaining a 4.2/5 work-life balance score that's rare for a public tech company. Asana's engineering team explicitly values "sustainable pace" and "working well for decades," which shows up in how they structure sprints, on-call, and meeting culture.
