Pros

If you are on the right team you can have fantastic leadership, guidance and mentorship. As a whole the company offers great benefits, flexible time off, and has a solid parental leave program for the US.

Cons

There is limited opportunity to grow and advance your career. Career pathing options were almost never discussed, but the "opportunities" were often dangled in front of you to give you hope of trying to develop your career in a more strategic way. C and E level leadership are often out of touch and lack understanding of what is actually happening within their teams. Frequent pulse check surveys are sent out with little follow up and insight into how leadership is going to address team issues. Some clouds feel much safer to work in than others - which limits employee options to move to other initiatives.

Thank you for sharing your perspective. We are proud of the benefits we provide to our people. Our Benefits team is on a mission to continue enhancing our employee benefits packages to make them globally inclusive. Most recently, they introduced 14 weeks of parental leave for all parents and Modern Health globally. We also continue to invest in our offices for employees to have a positive in-office experience; this includes having great work and break spaces, amenities, and food/snacks. Our Workplace team is working hard this year to continue enhancing these spaces and open new ones that reflect our positive growth! There are a ton of learning opportunities at OneTrust as well. 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. This 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 throughout the year and into the future. As you said, we do have frequent employee engagement/pulse surveys. These are completely anonymous and allow our senior leadership team to learn what is and isn't working. As mentioned on the internal Q1 Culture & Coffee session with our Chief People Officer, the Executive Leadership Team has looked through feedback from the most recent survey, and we look forward to the action items from all the perspectives submitted by employees.

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.
