It is my opinion that 1Password's culture changed dramatically after the series C round of investment. Below is a summary of my opinions and beliefs on how this has affected the company and it's employees negatively. A combination of new upper management faces and pressure from VC firms to produce results has turned this company into a cutthroat results-driven company. This by itself isn't a problem - the problem occurs when 1Password has not operated fundamentally in that capacity - so now that they are playing catchup to the new expectations put on them by the CEO and by extension, 1Password's board and investors. These conditions mean this company is turning itself into a pressure cooker of stress and hardship - day-to-day life as an IC or lower level manager will be a mix of context switching, whipsawing objectives, and firedrills. These are serious, structural issues that get compounded exponentially, if customer acquisition or a similar financial metric softens. As much as I hate to say it - I can't recommend this employer, even though they are hiring extensively in early 2023. For those of you who were recently laid off - proceed with caution if you absolutely need an income.
