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

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.
