Pros & Cons
Asana
- Exceptional work-life balance and supportive team culture
- Highly transparent leadership with strong D&I commitment
- Senior management accountability concerns and frequent reorgs
- Mandatory hybrid schedule — 3 days in office per week
Wayve
- Great culture — smart, friendly people with a supportive and inclusive familial bond
- Immense creative freedom and autonomy; founders are humble and open to being challenged
- Career progression framework is unclear — salaries and promotions feel arbitrary
- Very ambitious demands create vulnerability to burnout; processes built on the fly
Bottom Line
Asana
Choose Asana if you want sustainable pace, strong D&I, and a learning-first engineering culture at a public company — but expect hybrid 3-day in-office and some reorg turbulence.
Wayve
One of Europe's top deep-tech companies with excellent Glassdoor ratings (4.4) and a cutting-edge AV research environment — but expect an intense pace and most roles are London-based.
