Pros

- Work/life balance. Unlike places I've worked for in the past, I've never felt as though I was expected to put in crazy hours. I can walk away from my keyboard if I need to and not have a member of management breathing down my throat. In many ways, it's working from home done the right way. These things seem basic, but they're often overlooked. I've seen them done horribly wrong in other remote companies. - Passionate behind user privacy. In a world where it feels like every headline is another tech company abusing the data they have for gain, 1Password does the complete opposite. It's so refreshing. - I have the pleasure of working for some of the best management I've seen to date. Not only do they do the management part right, but many of them have a strong technical background; it makes it easy to explain certain issues you've encountered and have a thorough conversation around it. - Fellow co-workers. Everyone here rules. They are among some of the brightest minds I've ever had the pleasure of working with and learning from. - Passion. These people really love their product and the people that use it. There's an energy that comes from that that can't be replicated otherwise. - Room for growth. I am often encouraged to voice where I wish my career could go and feel as though that feedback is heard and that I have the support I need to achieve those goals.

Cons

Nothing comes to mind. I do wish the compensation was a bit more competitive, but I'm told improvements are coming.

Pros

- Awesome founders when they were involved in the day-to-day - Great benefits

Cons

- Lost a lot of what made this place special during the scale up from 100-1000 employees - Hired a ton of outside leadership which ultimately resulted in a culture shift and many of the people who worked there the longest leaving

Pros

* Flexible working arrangements and quite a bit of autonomy. * A genuinely supportive manager and a collaborative, positive team environment. * Competitive pay for the role and responsibilities.

Cons

In recent years the company has shifted in a direction that feels very different from the organisation I originally joined. * There is a strong emphasis on a “high performance culture”, but there is limited structure or support in place to help employees develop the skills needed to meet those expectations. * Career progression and compensation increases can feel closely tied to visibility rather than the quality or impact of the work itself. * The company is moving away from its fully remote approach. In-person events that were once optional are now mandatory, even for teams that may not directly benefit from them. The locations chosen do not always appear to consider the needs or circumstances of a globally distributed workforce, and employees are now required to go through formal accommodation processes simply to avoid international travel due to health or safety concerns.
