Massive layoffs over the last two years. The first time they did layoffs, they cut 1/3 of the company. We were caught off guard and disappointed. We bounced back, they rehired, but continued to secretly lay people off behind the scenes. No big announcements or statement from the CEO. Every time you got on LinkedIn and searched OneTrust, you could see people posting they got laid off. Come July 2024, they laid off another massive group of people.
The FAQ doc that the People Team sent out, mentioned that the team might have more workload but we should all be comfortable with picking up the extra work bc we’re “OneTeam.”
They did NOT care if you contributed 2 years or 7 years to this god awful company. They laid off anyone they thought was making too much money, or the role wasn’t a necessity anymore. They laid off so many people, but are okay with having job postings up?
Over the years, they handled a lot of situations very poorly. When CCPA enforcement was happening, Kabir (CEO) forced people to work over the holidays and said things like “this is a war! You’re either in it or against us!” I’m sorry, but what?
When Covid happened, after the CDC advices folks to stop meeting in groups more than 10, Kabir was still requiring people to come to the office — holding team meetings as well.
Not only that, HR was emailing us “You can work from home til (insert date) only. Don’t forget we do not tolerate work from home and we are not that type of company. You are required to come in when we say.”
There is absolutely no review process for your managers. If they are terrible, you can cry about it because nothing will be done.
People who work hard and deserve promotions/raises aren’t given them. OneTrust has a “committee” of managers that oversees who will get a promotion on a basic “yes” “no” vote. Got this information from someone on that committee!
Work here if the benefits are all you care for. I would say this company is experiencing a fallout. They fired the CMO, and two other chief executives.
