Thank you for sharing your experience with us. It's great to see you enjoyed working with your Sales Manager and team. Our workforce is made up of talented, smart, innovative people with successful backgrounds. It makes collaboration at work fun when we are all working toward a common mission and purpose. Our Sales team especially has a unique opportunity to sell into a large total addressable market to help continue define the category of Trust Intelligence. We are on an exciting journey to maturity and that includes scaling up. We are bringing in leaders from other successful companies who know what it takes to get OneTrust where it wants to go. Ultimately, we have been building out our Executive team – most recently a Chief People Officer, Marcelo Modica from Robinhood – and we are excited by all the work they have started. With a more complete E team, including diverse perspectives and experiences, we can deliver the best product for our customers and can improve our employee experience through challenges. Our executives have also made themselves available for conversations with employees through AMA sessions, fireside chats, ETG meetings, and more; this gives our people transparency directly from leadership. Marcelo Modica (CPO) hosts a quarterly Coffee & Culture session for all employees to get a glimpse into the work of the People team. Guido Torrini (CFO) hosts a quarterly Inside the Numbers session for all employees to get a glimpse into our company financials. Both of these opportunities provide transparency and give employees the chance to ask questions. We know there's a lot of work to do, and it will still take additional changes to get there, but we are looking forward to OneTrust's future as the trust landscape continues to evolve.

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.
