Pros

- Great product vision - Interesting field of work (ESG, Climate, Compliance, Ethics) - International company with high growth Ambitions

Cons

- Management is outstandingly bad. I have never seen so many C-Level positions and titles, yet they have no sense for what the company or the clients needs. - Everything is pointed to one thing and one thing only: the IPO. This target has paramount. Everything else is considered less important and the corporate values are only existing on paper. - Pretty much everyone you work with has given up personal drive & ambitions. Most people either stay because they don't have a new job or because they make good money at the moment or because they hope to get rich with the IPO. All personal motivations to do good with what one does have been suffocated over the years. - The products are sometimes not market-ready (!). While some modules work quite well, others are not meeting customer requirements or are basically not finished beta versions. Still, in the name of growth and the IPO, sales is pushed to sell these solutions. - The company itself doesn't use it's own solutions. Therefore, e.g. ESG or ethics are not lived.

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.
