Pros

The commercial legal team's leadership offers growth and guidance for attorneys to continue to grow.

Cons

A lack of clarity around role and responsibility, even when guidance has been repeatedly requested. A lack of leadership from the executives and upper management on the legal team as well leading to a disorganized team. Leadership also has an unwillingness to hear, let alone discuss, alternate view points. OneTrust tends to only recognize good employees when you force their hand. I would recommend this job as a stepping stone on resume but would not pursue a long term career here.

Thank you for sharing your experience on the Legal team. It's great to see your immediate team fostered an environment of growth and support. We're disappointed to see the rest of your experience at OneTrust didn't meet your expectations. The OT Executive Leadership Team has introduced a lot of new projects and initiatives over the past 18 months to support our employees globally. One of these things is our employee engagement survey. This is a great way for our employees at all levels to give anonymous feedback to our leaders about anything and everything; this gives our people a voice to ensure they have a place where they can do their best work. We also recently had our first-ever internal hackathon. All employees were invited to participate, and we had 30+ teams from around the world who contributed real solutions to real challenges internally and externally. The winning teams received a monetary prize for their innovative, incredible work; it was an amazing way for our global workforce to make a big impact and be recognized for their fresh ideas. Additionally, we recognize teams quarterly in our Values Spotlight Awards which come with a monetary reward as well. Lastly, our values promote an open-door environment. Our Executive team encourages conversation with all employees. Our CEO has even conducted global roundtables where he visited several of our offices to talk to employees and listen to their ideas and feedback. We know we have a long way to go, and trust transformation will continue to change the landscape we operate in, but we couldn't be more excited for what's in store for OneTrust's future. Thanks again for your feedback, and we wish you well in your career journey.

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.
