Pros

Salary and there are some great members of management

Cons

Culture needs improvement. For a talent management company, there needs to be a better focus in the people and the value they bring - not just the profit of the org

Thanks for taking time to leave this review. We're really happy to hear that you were pleased with your salary and were able to get to know some of the incredible members of our team. We would have loved for you to share this feedback while you were still here so we could understand the areas where you wanted to see our culture improve. My team is specifically responsible for collecting and acting on this type of information so that we can ensure that the employee experience we're creating is one that meets every individual where they are. But we can't pretend to know what each person whats which is why we host regular listening sessions, manager forums and even have an anonymous reporting hotline for feedback that feels sensitive to share. Ensuring that our Cornerstars feel heard is a top priority and we relay on the input of our team to help us co-create our culture. We're sorry that you didn't find what you were looking for here but we hope that you do in whatever you do next.

Thanks for sharing this; it's great to hear your positive outlook on our leadership and vision as that’s something we really care about. There can be challenges that come along with acquisitions, especially when it comes to aligning products and culture. While these decisions are made to support growth and long-term success, they don’t always feel seamless in the moment. Again, I appreciate you sharing your perspective and wish you all the best. -Carina Cortez, Chief People Officer

Pros

The people outside of leadership are great.

Cons

The experience of working here has been consistently frustrating due to ongoing instability and a lack of alignment between leadership and employees. Layoffs are a recurring theme rather than an exception, which creates an environment where people are constantly on edge and unsure of their job security. Instead of building trust, leadership decisions often seem reactive and disconnected from the reality employees are actually dealing with day to day. Compensation is another major issue. Commission plans are frequently changed throughout the year, often with little clarity or consistency. On top of that, commission payments are regularly delayed or payed incorrectly which adds unnecessary stress and undermines confidence in the company’s ability to follow through on basic financial commitments to its employees. What makes it worse is the overall lack of transparency and professionalism in how these changes are communicated. Decisions feel top-down and out of touch, with little regard for how they impact morale or day-to-day motivation. I do not know a single person who would describe themselves as truly happy or secure in their role here. The culture that results from all of this is one of uncertainty, frustration, and burnout rather than growth or stability.
