Pros

Software teams are a positive environment for both junior and senior developers. Self starters and those with a passion to grow and learn from/teach those around them will do well here. The teams are passionate about their work. Being able to take ownership of a feature and drive it above and beyond is rewarding as a developer. I have honestly never worked for a company that felt like a group of peers that respect and uplift each other as much as at 1Password.

Cons

As the company is in a rapid growth stage the management is having to play catchup. Balancing pushing their projects forward and developing new ways to manage a larger team can have adverse effects. At the moment it is better if you are able to self direct and take a task from start to finish with minimal management input. This the a time to distinguish yourself to management. If this doesn't sound like something you would be able to do then 1Password probably isn't for you. This is, of course, temporary. The managers are great and it may take some trial and error, but we will figure it out.

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.
