Pros

some really great people across the business, opportunity to genuinely compete with the major players

Cons

Only interested in making the numbers for the investors not in the results for the customer - relentless pressure to increase fees YoY and not invest in the technology. Systems and processes so fragmented in places that it is very difficult for the customer to navigate.

Hi Cornerstar - thanks for sharing your feedback. Being in a Sales role, I'm certain you have some great first hand experience and knowledge to share that would be extremely beneficial for your manager/leader to hear about what we could to from your perspective to be more customer-centric. We have done some great work over the past couple of years investing in systems and processes, especially for our GTM teams; we have made significant progress and are always open to feedback on what more we can do to make things more efficient and effective for our Sales employees. Please take the time to respond to our upcoming Pulse Survey and share your feedback. I personally read every comment as does Himanshu. Thanks -- Carina Cortez

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

Originally, this company was very supportive. There were many layers of resources meant to make employees successful. After the purchase of the company by PE they have cut software, resources and staffing to increase profits. I would not say there are many advantages over other employers in the field today. The ability to work from home is a pro. Complexity of the software is a pro because the work isn't boring. There's always something to learn.

Cons

- no real path to advancement, Cornerstone used to promote from within, over the past several years the majority of hired have been external - management cares a lot about stats but doesn't care to educate employees on how to meet those expectations. Ex. If a employee gets a negative survey it isn't reviewed and strategies aren't shared for improvement. If an issue goes on longer than expected and it puts employees out of compliance with the resolution time standard, employees are told to fix it with no strategies for doing so. There is no analysis of issues. One caveat: my team has a new manager so there is a possibility that things will improve; however the directives come from the top down, so upper management still has a problematic philosophy.
