Pros

We can say Unlimited PTO is a pro but realistically, the company benefits more from this 'perk' than the employees. Working from home became regular which was very surprising considering we all knew upper management really wanted us in the office to 'collaborate in person', but in actuality, they were getting way more hours from us from home. I did meet SOME incredible people while employed.

Cons

Everyone that got laid off during this second round was completely blindsided. After you hear in every meeting how great the company is doing, you start believing it. They even sent out emails about annual reviews that were coming up but it was all a lie. I think if anyone had even the slightest inkling that the company was struggling, maybe it wouldn't have been so much of a blow. When everything was happening, there were a ton of "rumors" and "whispers" like information wasn't going to get out. We are human. Everyone was on edge. Stressed. And when it was your turn, all you got was a script. Aside from the layoff, the experience that I had with upper management was that it left much to be desired. You have one person gate keeping processes and even money. Anyone else below that is just a puppet. Hopefully some were getting paid appropriately for that but not everyone is getting paid what they deserve. Overall, when you're there, you 'want' to drink the kool-aid. But now after all that has occurred and I see the other reviews, I see no one really did. It was all fake.

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.
