OneTrust Response

Thank you for taking the time to share your perspective. It's disappointing that some employees feel and have felt as though OneTrust doesn't value its people. Without OT employees, the company wouldn't be in such a promising, positive position in the market as it is today. Additionally, our people are what make a career at OneTrust exciting! We get to learn from one another every day and drive toward the same mission - to unlock every company's potential to thrive by doing what's good for people and the planet. Our leaders recognize the importance of empowering all OT employees globally to do their best work. In the past 18 months, our leadership team has introduced regular employee engagement surveys, an annual performance management process, improved benefits (e.g. 14+ weeks of parental leave globally, inclusive of adoption), refreshed culture & values, enhanced people manager enablement, and so much more. They incorporated all of these things to ensure OT employees are being heard and supported. We know there is still a lot of work to do, and we look forward to what this means for our people and the company in the future.

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.
