Pros
- Supportive management and product owners, people understand that deadlines have to be flexible and that doing things right are usually preferred to doing things quick - Powerful product, even if it needs some TLC in places - Benefits are decent, when they are honored - Work/life balance is really great. If I need to run an errand I can. If I need to take off sick I can. - Truly want to make a product that has a positive impact for both consumers and companies
Cons
Before investing slowed down, OneTrust was growing so fast that it outgrew it's ability to operate. Between constant hiring, expansion, new products, etc, things were already bad enough, but the nail in the coffin was definitely the frequent and ill-advised acquisitions. Mismanagement, poor understanding of how the product was being used and sold, and general arrogance, and desire to grow grow grow and be the most unicorny of all unicorns led to cancelled bonuses, no salary reviews, and finally multiple rounds of mass layoffs. If leadership had internally taken accountability in meaningful ways, I might be tempted to stay. But instead, they decided to refocus on re-branding and re-launching in a time where the only thing the company really needed to do was fix it's unstable footing. Executives have generally refused to acknowledge low morale, and even done some contemptible things like announcing new roles the paragraph after announcing the layoffs of 200 employees. All this means that a company who is literally attempting to sell and commoditize trust cannot be trusted by its employees. I love the people I work with and I have great managers, but large parts of the executive team have totally lost my confidence. Lightning struck and the company was in the right market with the right product at the right time, but ambition meant they flew too close to the sun.
