Pros

Intelligent coworkers and interesting industry to be in.

Cons

Extreme lack of vision and planning for the company. Many employees only last a couple weeks because management changes their minds about hiring that role or the employee quits because their job description has changed so much. Unless you're in engineering, your job functions never stay the same. Employees are asked to change roles, departments, functions on a weekly basis with out any consideration of the employees background or what they want to work on in the future. The company is a completely flat structure with everyone reporting to the CEO. So its nearly impossible to get feedback or understand what to work on next since he is rarely in the office.

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.
