Pros

Working here helped my resume so I could find a better company

Cons

The CEO is just horrible. He sounds like a spoiled frat bro and throws fits in all hands meetings. He also answers questions submitted by employees….if they don’t actually push him in any way (i.e “how many pets do you have?” When question after question about diversity and inclusion are being ignored). I luckily left before the mass layoffs, but I think the layoffs really show how horrible leadership is. They were acquiring companies and hiring a lot of great talent for those companies just months before they laid those same people off.

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.
