Pros

- Passionate and talented colleagues - Good benefits, competitive pay, and enablement to use Unlimited PTO

Cons

- Incredible ineptitude with forecasting and planning which led to 25% of staff (about 1000 people) being let go with no warning in June 2022 - A proven track record of NOT learning from their mistakes since they let go of 15% of their staff back in 2020 and did NOTHING to make sure it didn't happen again - Just acquires other companies with barely baked plans to integrate people, systems, and processes - Every team, department, and business unit is so siloed that you cannot actually get clear answers or know if your work is meaningful - Communication is a 0/10. It's obvious that there is no internal trust (ironic?!) and no one talks to each other. This results in decisions being made somewhere is else in the company with no understanding of how it affects anyone else. - Redundant work, duplicated efforts, and promises that lead no where - They allowed the teams to double or triple over the past 6 months and then laid off 25% of staff. Either they're that bad at planning or they have no regard for the impact an employer has on people's livelihoods - They promised us merit increases and promotions by May. We heard nothing in May, then 1000 of us were let go in June - No enablement to progress your career or do your best work - The whole idea of the software is to "build and operationalize trust as a competitive advantage" but they do not actually prioritize those things internally. As a result, branding/marketing comes across as hollow, empty words designed to take your money and make you feel like you're doing something "good" all the while filling the pockets of a few at the top - Incredibly tone deaf CEO and leadership who explicitly said that it's impossible to find diverse talent for the highest level positions in the company

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.
