Process
I applied online.
The interview process can be challenging, and the take-home assignment, initially estimated at 2-4 hours, may require more time for a thorough completion. It is advisable to consider the time commitment, especially if you are currently employed or have other commitments. Some participants have found certain questions in the assignment to be ambiguously worded, and seeking clarification from the interviewers may not always result in clear guidance.
During the interview presentation, candidates may feel observed rather than actively engaged with, which has been interpreted by some as a somewhat aloof demeanor. Following the assignment presentation, the interviewers may pose miscellaneous trivia questions, including unexpected ones. The latter part of the interview involves an hour-long SQL assessment, which consists of answering SQL questions while being observed by the interviewers. Some candidates have noted instances where one interviewer appeared less involved in the process. The compensation offered for the position is perceived by some as being in the range of an average data engineer salary.

1Password Work Experiences
- 5.0Great place to work & learnData Engineer • Current EmployeeAugust 14, 2023Pros: - Provides a great level of autonomy in the workplace. - Excellent benefits, including opportunities for learning and development. - Fair Pay for Canada. - Fantastic Data Team: The team members are highly skilled and work collaboratively to achieve goals. - Offsites! With the world opening up again, 1P has started organizing more offsite events. These events provide opportunities for team bonding and create a positive work environment.Cons: - It would be great to have more vacation days! I was sad to see see Boxing Day not recognized as a holiday this year. - Instead of having separate policies for vacation and sick days, 1P combines them into a single category, PTO. Having separate allocations for vacation and sick leave would allow for more dedicated time off for each purpose. The minor cons do not overshadow the positive aspects of working at 1P.
- 5.0Good cultureData Engineer • Current EmployeeMarch 23, 2022Pros: We used modern tools, worked on great projects, and had a good team.Cons: Custom solutions and high security bar with limited access
- 5.0Fantastic place to work and grow, beloved product, above market salaryData Engineer • Current EmployeeAugust 25, 2022Pros: - A product that has found product-market fit and continues to grow and sell, despite downturn in tech market - Leadership gives you the autonomy to work and manage your own projects / offer suggestions on new projects to try - Above market salary and internal comp initiatives like adjustments for inflation and market adjustments keep the salary extremely competitive - Still has some start-up / scrappy vibes despite growing a ton this year, perfect if you want to work somewhere without too much bureaucracy (but not a shoe-string start up that could fold at the first economic downturn)Cons: - Sometimes feels tough to collaborate cross-functionally. When I'm trying to get feedback or something back from other teams, it can take a while for them to respond on Slack or give an estimated timeline. Not a huge deal, but is a pain point when I'm working on projects that need external input
