OneTrust reviews

The level of manufactured urgency here is astounding. But maybe that should be expected since strategic direction changes near-constantly. The product is good, but unfortunately it's been left to die on the vine in pursuit of the next shiny object. The company went through some pretty painful layoffs in 2022, then again in 2023, and yet nothing has changed internally at the company to hold accountable the leadership that has let this happen. The company’s response to the growing burnout, malaise, and poor morale has been to post wellness tips in a Teams channel about how to avoid burnout. But in practice, though, the leaders of the company seem content with the saying of old: “the beatings will continue until morale improves.” If you’re a fan of being micromanaged by folks with inflated titles, this place is for you. Read the reviews and trust your gut.

All of the negative reviews that are stated here are actually true. Company name is OneTrust but upper management and Kabir actions proved that they cannot be trusted. What actions you ask? let me list few out for you: - Kabir + Leadership claimed that there was no need to worry about job security due to VC funding in 2020, then laid off hundreds (200-300 employees) just a one week later with no warning (Mind you this was at the beginning of covid). They hosted all hands meeting to assure everyone their job is secure only to be laid off the week after. Like why would you do this if you are going to conduct layoffs? - Deceitful practices of cost savings by attrition. Did mass hiring in 2021 and 2022 and said sorry we messed up when they laid off 950 people! This is 25% of the employees in your company man. How do you mess up that big?? 950 employees who were there less than an year and also some experience people on product team were laid off in 2022 because of federal interest rate was getting high. Management and Senior Management assured us there's no more layoffs happening now. - OneTrust acquired a company called Planetly in 2021 and in December 2022 they laid off all 200 employees and closed its office with no explanation or whatsoever. Even the Planetly co-founder shared post on his Linkedin about how upset this was to him and if he knew it was going to be shutdown he wouldn't have sold the company to OneTrust. This layoffs occured after Kabir and his team assured everyone of no more layoffs so where's the trust really from upper management? - I was told there would be no more planned layoffs after this as well by my Senior Managers and Managers. The company has been quietly laying employees off this year by saying that they moved on or their position is being eliminated or they put people in PIP only to fire them one month after. Mind you these employees are with the company for over 3 years and they are performing in their job well. This is an attempt to save money as those positions were replaced immediately with less expensive new hires. I have seen where people who are making 90$k salary per year are being fired and being replaced with $75k as a cost saving measures. This has happened across the company as a whole with multiple people that I know of who were affected by this. How low can Kabir and his team go just to save money and be profitable? The strategy to reflect profitability by lowering payroll expenses does not make a company strong in the long term. They have money to promote VPs and upper management but now for anyone lower? There have been no raises for past two years if you're Sr. Manager or below. Make it make sense??
