Pros

there is a lot of opportunity for the software but lack of retention

Cons

OT says they are now "a best place to work company" - that is a bold lie. People are leaving left and right because it is so miserable. They find ways to take money from you in every aspect they can get. Low base. Change commission 3-4 times a year, constantly change quotas and have unattainable goals. Lack of rentention. Raises were less than 5% IF you got one. Constant fear of layoffs So many SVPs and VPs delegating with little to zero communication Constantly adding third-party vendors instead of putting R&D into their own technology

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.
