Pros

Unlimited PTO that doesn't get micromanaged Decent benefits (paid insurance) Pay was OK at first (until this past year) Nice coworkers Pre-layoffs pretty fast paced so learned a lot

Cons

Leading on the merit reviews for months knowing it wasn't going to happen Blatant lies for PR (like saying we still have high retention and morale) Underpaid (and very little stock options if any) while taking on just as much responsibility as those in higher levels Crazy growth-focused culture with disregard for creating a decent product but just pushing out tons of half-baked features Questionable and shady hires in the last year (before layoffs) Unsure if execs know what they're doing (constant rebrands and marketing restructuring for no reason, lots of poor critiques/suggestions for product features without good reason) Some middle management are completely useless No career growth (haven't really seen anyone get promoted in the few years I've been here + no merit review process in place) Lots of menial work after layoffs Seems like we're still trying to get things together since the layoffs nearly half a year ago now

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.
