Pros

Unlimited PTO if they don't ask you to take a meeting during it & employer paid healthcare.. but these just trap you

Cons

I worked for OneTrust for 2 years, and it was a truly horrendous experience. The culture was toxic, and the management seemed more interested in their personal agendas than in fostering a positive work environment. One of the worst aspects was the mass layoff that occurred during my time there, where a staggering 25% of the workforce was let go. The company's decision was sudden and heartless, leaving many talented individuals without a job and causing immense stress and anxiety among the remaining employees. It was clear that the company prioritized short-term gains over the well-being of its employees. To add insult to injury, despite receiving an "exceeding expectations" rating during my performance review, I was denied a well-deserved raise. This blatant disregard for rewarding hard work and dedication only further exemplifies the company's lack of integrity and appreciation for its employees. The overall culture within the company was toxic and demoralizing. Communication was poor, with management rarely listening to or valuing the input of their subordinates. The lack of transparency and accountability created an environment of distrust and frustration. Additionally, the work-life balance was non-existent. The company consistently demanded excessive hours and unrealistic deadlines, causing burnout and negatively impacting the mental and physical well-being of employees. If you're considering joining this company, I strongly advise against it. The terrible culture, unjust treatment, and lack of appreciation for employees make it an incredibly unpleasant and demoralizing place to work. Save yourself the stress and frustration and look elsewhere for better opportunities.

Thank you for sharing your feedback with us. We hate to see you didn't enjoy your experience at OneTrust. We went through a lot of change last year. We moved from a high-growth start up to one focused on long-term growth and value for our customers. We welcomed a number of acquired companies and new leadership to build and scale the leading Trust Intelligence Platform. We recognize our culture shifted as a result. One of these new leaders was a Chief People Officer who joined us last year in our effort to scale and improve all our people processes and experiences, and we also created and hired a Talent Management team who has already revamped our culture and values and continues to work on our onboarding, development, and DEI efforts. 100's of employees participated in focus groups and nearly 2,000 provided feedback via our engagement survey to help shape our culture, and now that we have refreshed our culture and introduced our values internally, we're excited to have a north star for how we show up and make decisions at work. We also reintroduced our merit increases and bonus program this year, and we introduced the first phase of our annual performance review process to help determine what that means for our people. As we continue to progress forward, we are currently accepting submissions for the next iteration of our employee engagement survey. These responses will help us determine where OneTrust still has room to grow internally to provide a best-in-class employee experience - something that's a goal for us in our OnePlan strategy. In the past, these surveys have helped OneTrust leaders see the gaps in areas like benefits and career development, for example. In response, we rolled out improved benefits and that's something we're excited to see evolve even more in the future! We also believe believe career progression and advancement can happen in a number of ways - through new assignments or rotational opportunities, learning new skills, exposure to new customers or problems to solve, and promotions. When you’re defining and operating in a dynamic market there are no shortage of those opportunities. In the past year, many of our team members were also promoted or moved laterally into new roles within the company. We will continue to promote these opportunities and other career development offerings this year. Again, we appreciate your feedback. We will share your thoughts with our leadership team so that we can all focus on ways to further improve the employee experience for our current and future workforce.

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.
