Asana’s mission is to “empower teams to do great things together,” and the company emphasizes teamwork and clear, crisp communication. The interview process is described as emphasizing object-oriented programming and including a full two-hour coding exercise. ## Guide sections - [Expert guide](https://www.aced.io/guides/asana-software-engineer-interview) - [Interview experiences](https://www.aced.io/guides/asana-software-engineer-interview/experiences) - [Questions — 5](https://www.aced.io/guides/asana-software-engineer-interview/questions) - [Resumes — 11](https://www.aced.io/guides/asana-software-engineer-interview/resumes) ## Interview Process Typically, Asana software engineer interviews have four stages: 1. Recruiter screen 2. Technical phone screen 3. Onsite interview loop 4. Reference check ### Recruiter Screen The recruiter phone screen is generally based on your resume and fit for the software engineer role. You may be asked about your interests, past experience, and why you want to work at Asana. The recruiter can answer questions about the interview process. We recommend reviewing [your resume](https://www.aced.io/resume?src=guide) and researching Asana, including [its company mission](https://asana.com/company). ### Technical Phone Screen The technical phone interview lasts one hour with an Asana software engineer and includes a technical question. Questions are generally less in-depth than later interviews but may cover the categories discussed in the guide. The screen usually includes an object-oriented design problem, an area Asana emphasizes more than other companies. ### On-site The onsite interview consists of four rounds: 1. Behavioral and object-oriented design round 2. Object-oriented design round and algorithms #1 3. Object-oriented design round and algorithms #2 4. One 2-hour coding project The onsite also includes a coffee chat with an Asana team member, giving you an opportunity to ask questions and learn about the company. ### Reference Check Before finalizing an offer, Asana asks for two reference checks: one from a manager and one from a peer. ## Sample Interview Questions Asana software engineering interviews generally break down into three categories. The guide identifies object-oriented design as a major focus for preparation. The sample questions and the remainder of the guide are member-restricted.
