Pros

- Intelligent coworkers - Past paced so you can learn a lot very fast - Will get stock options if you work really hard - GDPR is a big thing - Company is growing very fast - Lots of (big and small) clients - Short commute - live near midtown - office in a prime location - right across Atlantic Station - Could be paid a lot if you can negotiate / prove yourself

Cons

- No work life balance - Could be asked to work on weekends - PTO is only 10 measly days - No bonus structure - Stock options could be given to if you work hard but will take company forever to IPO or get bought out - don't what the exit strategy is - Micromanagemt is there - Only health insurance is there - rest of the benefits are non-existent - no 401k, etc. - Lot of broken promises are made from upper management - No startup like culture - snacks, etc. - Office is too loud. Good luck booking a conference room - Uncertain of future of company after GDPR

Pros

- It was good in the beginning but not worth it after early 2022! - Base salary was good

Cons

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??

Pros

Salary is competitive, still allowing employees to work from home

Cons

Laid off 25 percent of the company, but not a single executive was affected Doubled the price of key products with no warning, with more price increases on the way Terrible culture, lots of negative reinforcement and fear based managerial tactics
