Pros

Having great coworkers and office location.

Cons

I was sold a dream by the recruiting team and pretty much rushed to get into the door. Only to walk into a setting to where there was no formal training in place to help set employees up for success. We had weekly company meetings that no one paid attention to, including members of management and HR. Everyone would be on their phones doing something else, and taking advantage of the free breakfast provided. The entire onboarding process was a mess all the way down to talking about the benefits offered from the organization. We were not told anything about benefits until after working a week at the company. There is no 401K match in place. Should you decide to move on from the company, you don't receive a vacation payout either. We had a one week bootcamp session that was "allegedly" supposed to help us be prepared to work, only to find out the entire week was pointless. I can honestly say I didn't believe in the product or the vision of the CEO. It's weird to work in an environment where over 85% of your employees don't even feel well trained enough to do their jobs. As the entire COVID19 situation started to unfold, our CEO informed us that our jobs were safe because we just received a series A funding from our investors and he also informed us how he knew the company would come out of this situation on top because of how our higher-ups have made it through crises such as Y2K and the recession and that we had nothing to worry about. Weeks later, mass layoffs occurred within the company. Some employees just received promotions literally a week or two before the layoffs occurred and they were let go. Also, during the COVID19 situation, not ONCE did our CEO or any member of HR or management ask any employee were they okay or if they needed anything outside of work materials. The day the layoffs happened, we were working from home and there was no paperwork to follow for at least a day about what was next. The layoff conversation wasn't even personable. The manager was reading off a talk-track. They wiped our computer access clean and we weren't even left with resources we could reach out to if we had questions that day. I honestly don't see this company lasting in the industry long. I would not recommend working at this place to anyone reading this.

Thank you for your feedback and for mentioning the strength you identified in your teammates. We are proud of the smart, passionate and motivated team that have chosen to grow their career with us. We strive to emphasize and take pride in the culture of growth and learning we incubate to include our new-hire bootcamp. That said, four years into our journey we now have much more experience and will continue to improve on various processes and programs to include our new-hire training and onboarding. On top of that, our HR and Learning and Development teams have identified areas for growth and will continue to build out resources for our employees to succeed starting on day one. Our team will also see increased "Pop-Up-Learning" opportunities as well as new programs to help strengthen our leaders and managers. As a 4-year-old startup that has grown extremely quickly, we are proud of the overall benefits and compensation package we provide, and our employees have given us overwhelmingly positive feedback on our offerings. We have a dedicated team in HR that’s constantly evaluating and improving those benefits and we will continue to introduce meaningful additions. For example, just in the last year we rolled out generous paid maternity and paternity leaves, added a “Community Day” dedicated to diversity learning and engagement and introduced an employer HSA contribution. We’re also proud to have rolled out a 401k plan this past year and we have announced plans to our team to add a matching component that we are actively evaluating the timing of. COVID-19 continues to be a very tough time for so many people and businesses across the world. OneTrust was not immune to that reality. We had to move quickly as we shifted to remote work for the health of our employees and we are continuing to assess and adjust as the pandemic continues. The decision to part ways with so many valuable individuals was really hard. No company or leadership team ever wants to have to make that decision. But the uncertainty and economic conditions brought on by the COVID-19 pandemic required an agile mentality and the decision to reduce our workforce was made only after careful examination. We care deeply about the people who have helped grow our company and did our best to provide meaningful severance packages.

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.
