Pros

The new coffee machine is nice when it's not broken. Occasionally there is fresh fruit for free in the break rooms. At least once a week your bosses and CEO won't curse or yell at you.

Cons

Some of the worst, selfish, uncaring, horrible management I've ever seen. Sweat shop is the perfect description. H1Bs are taken advantage of and worked to the bone because management knows they can't quit. It's a constant revolving door of employees, many don't last even 6 months. Stop hoping for equity, the management is greedy and you won't receive it. Each department is run like a fiefdom, horribly micromanaged. Benefits, aside from health insurance, are nonexistent. Hope you negotiated a very high salary because that is all you will get. Morale is extremely low and you can tell many people are looking for jobs. Lots of good talent has already left, and the product is clearly worse because of it. HR clearly trying to up the rating on here by posting fake one sentence reviews. Just don't do it. You will regret it.

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.
