Pros

- CEO hosts monthly all hands and Ask Me Anything sessions and is for the most part transparent about his thoughts. You can learn a lot about what it takes to run a company by attending these sessions. Gives you good insight into what other teams are doing and what their priorities are and how all the teams fit together to make a successful business. - Great people. Very talented and hardworking coworkers. People are friends outside of the office as well. -You get thrown into the job very quickly which helps you learn quickly but others may not enjoy. - Company is the industry leader in privacy, security and trust management software and is consistently rated the best in the market by customers and analysts. This makes the software easier to sell and also gives you the opportunity to be a part of a culture of innovation that emphasizes staying ahead of the pack (leads to numerous career growth opportunities). - The R&D team does an excellent job of listening to customer feedback. As a result, the software really does make your customer's lives easier and allows you to build stronger relationships and not feel like a sleazy salesperson if you are in sales. - 21 days PTO - Everyone needs to comply with privacy and security laws and thus you get experience working with just about every size of company and every vertical.

Cons

- mentioned above that you can be thrown into the role pretty quickly which can be a con for those who like a lot of structure. - pay could be a little better

Thanks for taking the opportunity to provide feedback! We're glad to know that you've enjoyed your time with OneTrust. We put a lot of effort into hiring individuals who will thrive in our fast-paced environment so it's great to know you've noticed the quality of your coworkers. Things move fast when you're an industry-leading software startup. That often means quickly moving people into roles that will put their skills and ability to the test.

That said we want to make sure our employees are empowered to succeed so keep an eye out for new Learning and Development initiatives to include our pop-up learning sessions.

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.
