How good is Aasana as a company? More precisely, how is the engineering org?
How’s the WLB? On-call rotations? Avg vacation duration ppl take?
Work life balance varies from great to average depending on the team. On call depends on the rotation - e.g. infra or Lunadb oncall can be pretty disruptive (more likely than not woken up at night some time during your weekly shift). Vacation median is usually 17-19 days for the trailing twelve months, and most people take between one day and a whole week off at a time. This does not count sick leave, parental leave, jury leave, or the sabbatical at the end of three years.
Thanks Obama.

Good work culture. Very talented engineers. Anything specific you want to know about?
Obama, you've been great at responding. Would you possibly be able to shed some light on the differences between product and infra eng at Asana for a backed dev? One thing I was wondering was texhnologies: Not quite interested in working with React or Luna but I've heard Asana uses Scala a lot?
The graph database service, lunadb, is written in Scala, so the lunadb team works with it. Product engineers on some teams also have to touch the Scala code to enable backend support for the product features they are working on. Aside from that, product engineers work with typescript and react or legacy JavaScript Luna code. A lot of the infrastructure and tooling code is written in python. There is a good chance the recruiter and hiring manager can find something which fits your liking. Note though that the majority of engineering at asana is on the product side.
