Pros

Was first in the market product

Cons

First and foremost, the work environment is demoralizing. Majority of the mid managers have no idea on the work/team process and unfortunately they are the ones who gets promotes to senior levels. Furthermore, the leadership lacked transparency and accountability. Decisions were made behind closed doors without consulting or informing the rest of the team, leading to confusion and frustration. The workload was consistently overwhelming, with unrealistic expectations and no help.

Thank you for sharing your experience with us. It's disappointing to see you didn't enjoy working at OneTrust. We believe career progression and advancement can happen in a number of ways - through new assignments or rotational opportunities, learning new skills, exposure to new customers or problems to solve, and promotions. When you’re defining and operating in a dynamic market there are no shortage of those opportunities. Last year, many of our team members were also promoted or moved laterally into new roles within the company. We will continue to promote these opportunities and other career development offerings this year. Additionally, OneTrust leaders have shown they do care and are transparent with our people in a number of ways. We finished scaling our Executive Leadership Team in July 2022, and since then, they have built out our Talent Management team. They have already introduced refreshed company values, a performance management and review process, regular anonymous employee engagement surveys, and more people management training and cohesion. We also now have Values Spotlight Awards where we recognize our employees, and we continue to improve our global benefits package over time. Thanks again for sharing your feedback!

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.
