I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at 1Password (Toronto, ON)
Interview
First there was a screening zoom call with the recruiter, very nice person. Then two zoom calls with my peers and then the hiring manager. These included technical topics and a flash task/review. After that, a casual interview with higher management.
The recruiters would call and email before each interview and check if you need anything. Everyone without an exception was very kind and open. The process was efficient and relatively quick.

Included a phone screen, a longer video call with the hiring manager, a portfolio presentation, and a short chat with the chief experience officer. They scheduled quickly, were communicative, and were notably inclusive, transparent, and kind throughout the process.
