Pros

Good benefits, unlimited PTO, great coworkers, and I got a decent laptop with no issues.

Cons

I was hired as a remote employee, they were a remote first company and told me I could stay remote. Then a little while later they laid off 25% of their workforce. Now they have started telling people they have to come into the office twice per week if they live within 40 miles. Also, they are choosing to do this while simultaneously moving their Atlanta office almost 20 miles away from where it is now. It’s a logistical mess. They will tell you one thing now and switch it up in a few months later, so I would not be surprised if within a year they will require everyone to come in to the office every day. Just be prepared for them to switch things like this up on you, no matter what bill of goods they try to sell you when you’re getting hired.

Thank you for taking the time to share your OneTrust experience. It's great to see you enjoyed your benefits package, flexibility, and technology. We couldn't agree more about your coworkers; OneTrust employees are smart, driven, and fun to collaborate with. OT is proud of its people and the relationships they build with each other. OneTrust leaders also value employees and their feedback. A big piece of feedback they've been hearing is that employees want more opportunities to collaborate and celebrate wins together. Our Working@ OneTrust initiative is our way of formalizing where we hire, how we work together, and where we work as part of our hybrid model. The underlying "Why" is that we are intentional about the culture that we want to create together. This includes bringing teams together in-person, throughout the year, to collaborate, build connections, learn from each other, and celebrate our wins to Finish Stronger. We are a young company, but we are growing. As we prepare to hire and grow more this year, we need clarity on the types of roles and skill sets we need and where those roles need to be located to best serve our customers. ​ Like many companies, OneTrust is navigating what it means to operate in a post-pandemic world. Ultimately, we want to be intentional about accelerating the culture we want to build, focused on a customer-first approach. We are aligned and believe the best way to do that is to bring teams together in times that matter – to Connect, Be Curious, and Collaborate.

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.
