Pros

- CEO hosts monthly all hands and Ask Me Anything sessions and is for the most part transparent about his thoughts. You can learn a lot about what it takes to run a company by attending these sessions. Gives you good insight into what other teams are doing and what their priorities are and how all the teams fit together to make a successful business. - Great people. Very talented and hardworking coworkers. People are friends outside of the office as well. -You get thrown into the job very quickly which helps you learn quickly but others may not enjoy. - Company is the industry leader in privacy, security and trust management software and is consistently rated the best in the market by customers and analysts. This makes the software easier to sell and also gives you the opportunity to be a part of a culture of innovation that emphasizes staying ahead of the pack (leads to numerous career growth opportunities). - The R&D team does an excellent job of listening to customer feedback. As a result, the software really does make your customer's lives easier and allows you to build stronger relationships and not feel like a sleazy salesperson if you are in sales. - 21 days PTO - Everyone needs to comply with privacy and security laws and thus you get experience working with just about every size of company and every vertical.

Cons

- mentioned above that you can be thrown into the role pretty quickly which can be a con for those who like a lot of structure. - pay could be a little better

Thanks for taking the opportunity to provide feedback! We're glad to know that you've enjoyed your time with OneTrust. We put a lot of effort into hiring individuals who will thrive in our fast-paced environment so it's great to know you've noticed the quality of your coworkers. Things move fast when you're an industry-leading software startup. That often means quickly moving people into roles that will put their skills and ability to the test. It can be challenging, but that's also part of the reward — Developing relationships with customers that trust the quality of both our product and team. That said we want to make sure our employees are empowered to succeed so keep an eye out for new Learning and Development initiatives to include our pop-up learning sessions. It's great to hear you've enjoyed the All Hands and Ask-Me-Anything sessions. We know that transparency is important and will continue to provide our team with the ability to hear directly from our leaders as frequently as possible. As always, please feel free to reach out to your HR Business Partner if you have any concerns, questions or suggestions.

Pros

- Much needed and very useful product set - Company full of smart young professionals - Great potential for a lasting valuable brand - Many managers know they need help because they are underpaid and overworked, so you can get a pretty good starting salary and benefits if you're smart

Cons

- Company culture based on FEAR, NARCISSISM, and GREED. - Management is only management because they started with the company at the beginning and were willing to give up their lives. - They think not discussing raises and bonuses is healthy and take advantage of young people who are excited by the "start up life" - The CEO things he knows EVERYTHING and refuses to respect employees as people he hired to truly contribute, instead you are expected to be a "yes man" and treat him like a God. - They build "processes" that are extremely manual for the sake of having very high "numbers" to look at in short time periods (quick wins), rather than doing things the right way and creating sustainable and scalable foundations that make growth even more exciting. - There's a constant pressure to neglect your personal life and goals for the wishes of the CEO, and the CEO only. - No career/professional development - No performance reviews (they don't want to be faced with the things they need to do to support employees) - There is no respect paid to those who have experiences that "management" may not have - They spend the first week of employment convincing the fresh and young new hires that it's completely normal for them to be overworked and underpaid because they are a part of a tech start up. - You are constantly questioned, in unreasonable time frames, about performance that is tied to completely unreliable "data" and "reporting" because they have little to no logical understanding of healthy brand awareness and proper conversion metrics - No one knows who SHOULD be making decisions or setting goals - Everyone is afraid to speak up for what they believe in - The overarching mission of the business is not to improve the world in any way, it is only to have every company across the globe sing OneTrust's praises for "saving" their company from the "hassle" of breaches and other regulation necessities

Thank you for taking the time to provide feedback and acknowledging our talented team and market-leading solutions. The two certainly don't exist without each other. We're an extremely data driven organization and invest heavily in automation. We are realistic that as a 4-year-old company, there are definitely processes that we work to improve and we are proud of the dedicated Operations team we have that continues to build more and more automation into every process, every quarter. Our philosophy on performance is constant, continuous feedback as opposed to a singular, annual review. We take hard work seriously and really want to make sure we’re rewarding individuals that go above and beyond. Our top performers are regularly recognized (and celebrated!) through our spot bonus program, our compensation review process, and by giving them the power to create their own career path through internal promotions within the organization. Our employees value the learning and development opportunities made available to them and have a lot of avenues for growth. We promote from within as a key priority and promoted 20+ employees this past quarter alone. We will continue to invest in our "in-house" experts through our training and learning programs and offer our team impactful professional and personal growth opportunities. Our employees appreciate the "do-good" nature of our business and our over-arching mission is to help companies be more trusted. We're proud of the impact we are making globally as part of this mission. Thank you again for taking the time to share your feedback!
