Pros

The pros are pay, benefits and the good caring people that work there.

Cons

The company is strategically directionless and can't get out of its own way to be successful. You can expect annual layoffs as the direction changes. Most of their large customers are unhappy with the product but don't have a good alternative.

Thank you for taking the time to share your perspective and for recognizing the compensation, benefits, and dedicated people who make up OneTrust. We acknowledge that periods of change can feel frustrating at times, particularly in a fast‑evolving market. Over the past few years, OneTrust has continued to mature as a company, including recent changes to our senior leadership. We recently welcomed John Heyman as CEO. He and our leaders are focused on bringing greater clarity and consistency as we continue to scale, and they're committed to listening to employee feedback and strengthening how we operate. Like many companies, we regularly evaluate our organizational needs to best serve our customers and to position the company for long-term success. We acknowledge the contributions of those that have been part of the OneTrust team and wish them the very best in their future endeavors. We appreciate your candid feedback.

Pros

Unfortunately there isn't anything worth highlighting. If you are actively interviewing at OneTrust, I would encourage you to carefully read through the reviews. There are several red flags that I wish I would have been aware of prior to joining.

Cons

- Unsustainable turnover and bad leadership: The CEO, CRO, CFO, and CTO abruptly quit shortly after I started. There is extremely high turnover across all teams (particularly in GTM). Favoritism runs rampant, especially with tenured leaders. - Lack of job security and stability: At the beginning of this year, several of my peers were impacted by a reduction in force. This unfortunately appears to be a common occurrence at the start of the fiscal year. OneTrust is a revolving door for top talent. - Poor compensation: The bonus pool was slashed a few weeks after being announced at a company all-hands. This money was allegedly invested elsewhere (unclear where though). There is no equity refresh for existing employees and merit increases were far and few between this year. - Lack of diversity: Despite being headquartered in Atlanta, there are no black c-suite members. The board has no female members. Diversity is limited at the most senior leadership levels.
