The candidate journey at LastPass
Our interview process is a two-way street: we evaluate you just as much as you evaluate us. The application and interview process may vary, but here's what you can expect.
At LastPass, we’re not just hiring for skills, we’re hiring for potential. We care about what you can do, how you think, and how you grow. Your background matters, but your mindset matters more. Here’s what sets a Passtronaut apart:
- Driver of change: You take initiative, own your impact, and push projects forward with purpose.
- Boldly curious: You challenge the status quo, think outside the box, and bring fresh ideas to the table.
- Uniquely valuable: You bring your authentic self and diverse experiences, contributing perspectives that strengthen our team.
- Impact-focused: You care about making a difference for our customers, our team, and the digital world at large.
Applying for a new role is exciting, and we get it can feel a little nerve-wracking too. Here’s how to set yourself up for success:
- Set the stage: Pick a quiet, well-lit space with stable internet connection so nobody gets robot voice.
- Test your Microsoft Teams link: You’ll find it in the calendar invite from the Talent Acquisition Coordinator.
- Do your research: Review the job description and think about how your skills align with the role.
- Explore LastPass: Check out our website, LinkedIn profile, and blog to get a feel for our products and culture.
- Practice your pitch: Introduce yourself with a summary of your background and why you’re excited about the role.
- Be yourself: Relax, have fun, and let your personality shine. We want to meet the real you, not a perfect script.

Let your true self shine from start to finish that’s what really matters here.”
Bruno Lima
Senior Product Owner, Portugal"After going through more than a dozen interviews elsewhere that felt more like interrogations than conversations, LastPass was a breath of fresh air. From the very first interaction, I felt valued. The interview process was engaging, respectful, and filled with genuine back-and-forth dialogue. When I had to reschedule due to a family emergency, the team showed nothing but understanding and support a true reflection of the culture here.Now, three months in, I can confidently say I love the people, the work, and the benefits. One piece of advice for future candidates: don’t be afraid to ask questions and be transparent. This team truly appreciates and practices open communication, and it makes all the difference."

AI is never used to screen candidates; every application is reviewed by real people to ensure great talent doesn’t slip through the cracks.
Interview prep
Feel free to use AI to prep and research. Just don’t use AI to misrepresent your experience or fabricate answers.
Got questions? We’ve got you covered.
