      Pros

      Good teammates and manager Good benefits, increased the paternity leave to 16 weeks

      Cons

      There is no transparency in several things going on in the company and no trust ironically. They have removed ability ask questions anonymously or see what others are asking in major company wide meetings. They have so called pre-compiled employee questions that the moderator ask the questions from and they don't look to cover the major questions that the real employees have. We are loosing TRUST everyday. There is no growth in US apart from some directors. Even if you end up getting promoted they would be without a salary hike. Option values are disclosed by the company as they are nearly worthless or under the water. No option refreshers every year or for that fact even after they completely vest. Salaries are severely under the market and my manager does not seem to know my salary and seemingly it is controlled by few folks in the company which is ironically opposite to TRUST and TRANSPARENCY that the company touts in the public.

      Thank you for sharing your feedback. Our innovative, curious people really do make OneTrust the category-defining market leader it is today. We're proud of the work they do every day. We're also proud of our employee benefits. We've been on a journey with our benefits since we started in 2016, and now that we're maturing, we recently brought on a Total Rewards leader who's been hard at work building out our team. Along with the new global 14+ week parental leave (16 weeks for birthing parents) you mentioned, OneTrust is looking at other providers and benefits offerings to enhance the total package. We can't wait to see what exciting things come next! With our companywide, quarterly All Hands, Culture & Coffee, and Inside the Numbers sessions, we aim to gather employee questions beforehand through Forms to ensure we can hear from our people. There is also an opportunity to ask questions live with the Zoom Q&A feature. Additionally, we have quarterly employee engagement surveys that are completely anonymous. This gives our teams the chance to give feedback to our leaders. We've already seen improvements come out of these surveys, and we look forward to OneTrust's future as we continue to hear from our people.

      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.
