I have interviewed (phone screened) at Asana. It was delightful. I really liked the people I met there and enjoyed the problem I worked through over the phone. It really did feel collaborative and like we were solving a problem together just as software engineers do when they're not in this artificially combative environment we often create when interviewing. Regarding the problem, I didn't have the best approach out of the gate. In fact, I had a vague memory of the right approach ("I seem to recall it uses two data structures, and if I really stretch I think it was X and Y, but I don't remember the details.") That made it harder to get to the final solution. The interviewer was very good at at talking things through with me in a way that didn't seem like they were frustrated or otherwise grumpy that I didn't know this particular problem cold. They apparently thought the results were encouraging enough to move to an onsite, but I got an offer from my current employer (where I am working with close personal friends) and had to pass on the chance to find out what that would be like. All in all I think Asana is probably a great place to work. I also like the product, although it seems like you need a whole team to adopt it to make it sticky.
