My experience interviewing with 1Password was incredibly disappointing and frustrating. After applying twice for the same role and progressing through three rounds of interviews on both occasions, I was ultimately rejected each time, despite extensive relevant experience and being a former advocate of their product.
The process felt unnecessarily long, repetitive, and poorly managed, leading me to question if they even knew what they were looking for. It became apparent that age bias was likely at play, as I felt overlooked for younger, less experienced candidates. For a brand that emphasizes security and trust, it was deeply disheartening to feel discriminated against after such a commitment of my time and energy.
Adding insult to injury, I was a paying customer of 1Password and even recommended them to others. However, this interview process has turned me from a brand enthusiast into someone who actively avoids and discourages others from using their service. If they treat applicants – experienced professionals who are also loyal customers – with this level of disregard and possible bias, it’s clear they lack the integrity they market to their user base.
To anyone considering applying or even subscribing, think twice. There are plenty of alternatives that value customers and employees alike without the pretentious, time-wasting, and discriminatory practices I encountered here
