OneTrust reviews

Onetrust was a sweat shop. I was an application support engineer that was apart of the 2020 layoff this time last year so I figured I leave a review. The training was absolutely awful. We were expected to support clients that knew the software better than us. Everyday it was a circus, reaching out internally to find the right contact to help with a case. Which wasnt that bad until, those contacts wouldnt respond for days leaving the client hanging. I watched many members of my team get swamped with work, sometimes working 12+ hours days with no recognition or raises. The people who didnt get laid off and kept their jobs have all left or planning to. I remember Kabir finally allowed us to wfh instead of coming into the office, and he told all of us that ours jobs were safe and we were going to get through this together. 2 weeks later the massive layoff occurred. i was so close with my team. we werent just coworkers, we became friends. So when the majority of us got laid off it screwed up all team morale and definitely made Kabir look ruthless. I personally did not find a job until the fall that year after being laid off in April. I visit linkedin sometimes and see Kabir/Onetrust all up and down the feed, and I get upset because WE ARE THE REASON Onetrust even has the success it has right now. Some people never recovered from that layoff and thank God most of us did. But to see onetrust flourishing, buying up other companies, etc off the backs of 200+ that got laid off because of covid paranoia is absolutely disheartening. i'll never forget that day, because it was such a surprise and Kabir told us our jobs were safe. So yeah. Its been a year. and all of us are still upset at how that played out because we gave so much to Onetrust. The ones fortunate to have kept their jobs all seemed to have left one by one, and im glad they moved on to somewhere they would be appreciated.

* Small vacation time allotment (10 days), limited benefits * Extreme hours (12-16+ every day, full days in the office on weekends have been required in the past with only informal compensation). Weekend meetings are required for product managers. * Individual engineering decisions are made or signed off on personally by CEO, R&D expertise (including product management) does not rule. * Sprints are on a one week basis despite protests of agile teams - CEO personally sets sprint cadence and agile operations, not Scrum masters or R&D management * Employees can do little to shape culture here As with any company, hours are bad during critical times (at the end of every weekly sprint, before industry demos and events, during releases) - but almost every day can be considered a critical time and even on the rare light days, expect to work 10-12 hours. A few things to mention for just for transparency's sake: Hiring is difficult, so engineers will downplay hours in interviews. This is a great opportunity if you can survive - but it will be extremely difficult and costly. Do not expect any concerns or suggestions for how the company can be improved upon to be listened to with respect or seen as anything other than complaints. Engineers leave on a frequent basis due to this, and those who have made the personal decision to trade the benefits for low standards for how they are treated.
