Built to flip, burn-out for most employees

Pros

OneTrust is a startup founded by the founders of AirWatch and Manhattan Associates. Like with those companies, they have a great product that is unique in the marketplace. For employees that are open to the experience, you can learn a lot at this company earlier in your career. They spend a lot of money on marketing, and it shows.

Cons

OneTrust is a startup founded by the founders of AirWatch and Manhattan Associates. Other similarities to those companies is that this company is also built to flip. They most recently sold AirWatch for $1.5 billion to VMWare. To do this, they rely on their employees' hard work, sweat, and tears. And, they don't have time to treat their employees very well. Yelling is the standard communication at this company. The c-level yells at their directs, and it works its way down to you. So no, you are not alone in noticing that you aren't valued as an employee here. You are just a cog in their billion-dollar wheel; your suggestions and complaints don't matter. You can -- and will -- be easily replaced with the next bright-eyed recruit. Even if you stay and you kill yourself, unless you are one of the golden few (sometimes going back to Manhattan Associates), you will not be part of the payout party when the company does sell. Is this worth it to you? Only you can decide.

Pros

Company is well recognized in the tech startup community and product is #1 in its market

Cons

As many other reviews have stated, mass layoffs took place earlier in April after we were all assured that OneTrust had enough funding to keep us all safe and secure during the pandemic. The layoffs were sudden and handled very poorly by leadership. -- Even before the layoffs, OneTrust's culture has been a pool of toxicity. Of course there are genuine friendships and connections made, but even then, leadership tends to run their teams like it's a popularity contest. Favoritism isn't doled out based on knowledge, skills, abilities, and proven track records, but instead it's based on who can kiss up the most to their manager. -- During the interview process and while you're under their employment, you'll be told that you can move into closely relating roles that more align with your desired career path, but most of the time, that is false information. They will use you until they're done using you for the purposes they'd like and then silo you off to whatever part of the business they want without much to any say on your part.

Pros

Good teammates and manager Good benefits, increased the paternity leave to 16 weeks

Cons

There is no transparency in several things going on in the company and no trust ironically. They have removed ability ask questions anonymously or see what others are asking in major company wide meetings. They have so called pre-compiled employee questions that the moderator ask the questions from and they don't look to cover the major questions that the real employees have. We are loosing TRUST everyday. There is no growth in US apart from some directors. Even if you end up getting promoted they would be without a salary hike. Option values are disclosed by the company as they are nearly worthless or under the water. No option refreshers every year or for that fact even after they completely vest. Salaries are severely under the market and my manager does not seem to know my salary and seemingly it is controlled by few folks in the company which is ironically opposite to TRUST and TRANSPARENCY that the company touts in the public.

Thank you for sharing your feedback. Our innovative, curious people really do make OneTrust the category-defining market leader it is today. We're proud of the work they do every day. We're also proud of our employee benefits. We've been on a journey with our benefits since we started in 2016, and now that we're maturing, we recently brought on a Total Rewards leader who's been hard at work building out our team. Along with the new global 14+ week parental leave (16 weeks for birthing parents) you mentioned, OneTrust is looking at other providers and benefits offerings to enhance the total package. We can't wait to see what exciting things come next! With our companywide, quarterly All Hands, Culture & Coffee, and Inside the Numbers sessions, we aim to gather employee questions beforehand through Forms to ensure we can hear from our people. There is also an opportunity to ask questions live with the Zoom Q&A feature. Additionally, we have quarterly employee engagement surveys that are completely anonymous. This gives our teams the chance to give feedback to our leaders. We've already seen improvements come out of these surveys, and we look forward to OneTrust's future as we continue to hear from our people.
