Pros

Leading and very good software in GDPR privacy management. GDPR law compliance in demand. New market.

Cons

Accepted a position in their London office to sell into a specific region which I have always sold into for the past few years due to my native language, network and experience, only to find out that after I started I had to sell into a a totally different region. What’s the point? CEO is childish, bullying and needs to grow up. Treat your employees well and they will take care of your customers. CEO, founder and MD EMEA are all from VMWare so hiring from VMware happens a lot. Managing director EMEA doesn’t look at only closed won business, but wants people to make 50-60 calls a day. Been asked to translate 2000 words in the language that I was not even allowed to sell in for that region. I get it that at a startup you need to be able to wear different hats, but this was just pointless. Stayed for less than a year, Think about it twice before making the same mistake. Can’t believe I have to put this on my CV just in case it comes up in a background check.

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.
