Pros

Fast paced environment where you can learn a years worth of knowledge in a few months. Compensation is better than market average. Colleagues are great to work and hang out with

Cons

Upper management cannot stick to one decision. They make rash decisions and end up restructuring the department 3 times in the past 5 months. Right after reassuring everyone that no layoff will occur as a result of COVID because of large funding, about half of my department has been laid off 2 weeks ago due to a lack of resources, but I am now seeing new grads making posts on LinkedIn accepting job offers for our department! There is a total disconnect between upper level management and lower management and employees. Layoffs were not performance based, and I am not sure what metrics were used. Some of my laid off coworkers were great consultants and helped us out a lot during the extremely challenging CCPA times. Overall employee morale is shot, and I feel that I am always looking over my shoulder for the next layoff.

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.
