      Pros

      Prior to the Saba acquisition, amazing company culture & awesome co-workers who are actually good people. Promote from within especially if starting at an entry level sales position. Access to some great sales tools making reps jobs easier.

      Cons

      New managers lack essential training in order to be successful and have sub par people skills. The majority lack experience (hired through tenure) and have trouble motivating their teams. Sales Reps salaries are significantly lower than the market average, decent OTE. The LMS & Talent Management space is a super saturated market, where it's harder to compete with larger companies who have better brand recognition and smaller, more innovative companies as well. Sales team grew too fast.

      We appreciate you taking the time to leave this review and agree with your assessment that Cornerstone has an amazing culture with awesome people. We're sorry that you weren't able to stay through the acquisition to experience how well Saba compliments our culture and how much more amazing we are as one company. You'll be proud of what we're sustaining and how well this works. We're also sorry that you didn't have an opportunity to experience our extensive manager training to understand how well it supports even the most inexperienced managers to help them develop the skills they need to be successful and in turn make their teams successful! Again, thanks for the feedback! We hope you're doing well with 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 by far were the reason I stayed at the company for so long. Working with people who helped be part of the solution rather than part of the problem was exciting and fun. Working to solve issues together and collaboratively supporting each other was a great way to drive cross functional collaboration and success,

      Cons

      Senior leadership is a constant turnover with consistent pivots in strategy and direction before there was time to test if something was working. WIth consistent reductions in force, teams have found it hard to stay motivated and unclear as to what the current strategy is. Decisions are made with little context or reasoning to the middle management layer which causes dissatisfaction across the frontline teams. Comp plans were often delayed, incorrectly paid and something we had to spend a ton of time figuring out if we were getting paid correctly or missing something.
