Pros

- If you are willing to work hard, you are given plenty of responsibility and trusted with projects straight away - Learning is always encouraged (and paid for) e.g. gaining the CIPP/E certification, first aid courses - A lot of very knowledgable staff, so you will quickly learn more about privacy - Managers are relatively transparent, you know what is expected of you, and have weekly meetings to help you reach targets - CEO does reward hard-work, e.g. with spot bonuses/extra days off - OneTrust has great connections with other privacy professionals, and access to events which you are able to attend

Cons

- No clear career progression route or pay review structure

Thank you for taking the time to provide a detailed account of your time with OneTrust so far. We are a passionate, hard-working bunch and love adding new team members who want to learn new skills and aren’t afraid to jump in feet first. It’s great to hear you’ve taken advantage of some of the resources we’ve put in place (first-aid training, privacy certifications, etc.). Please let your HR Business Partner know if you have any suggestions or ideas about how we can continue to improve these programs. We take hard work seriously and really want to make sure we’re rewarding individuals that go above and beyond. Whether that be through the spot bonus system you mentioned, our compensation review process, or by giving each employee the power to create their own career path. We want to empower our top performers to take control of their own future. We would like to encourage you to touch base with your HR Business Partner to explore your options. Thanks again for taking the time to share your feedback!

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.
