Pros

At this point, none unfortunately.

Cons

Overall, I really liked my time at OneTrust. The 1000 person layoff of June 2022 was a huge turn off. I feel like I was sold a dream that was not reality. As employees, the wool was pulled over our eyes all the time. Communication was a huge problem. We were always kept in the dark and everyone seemed to be scrambling to find answers. The most amazing people I’ve ever worked with were laid off with zero notice and it was honestly heartbreaking to watch. For a company that bases itself on trust - it is sad that they can’t be trusted after they showed their cards.

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.
