Pros

I have worked for Cornerstone for over 5 years and although there have been lots of changes - the organization is still one of the best companies I've ever worked for. With the recent acquisition announcement, I'm confident we will continue to grow and serve our clients while maintaining a strong culture of next generation CornerStars!

Cons

Like other organizations, the struggle to retain talent means that we have seen a lot of very good people leave the organization. The HR / Talent teams does a great job to survey and provide feedback to employees, but I think many are looking for greener pastures - they don't accept the inevitable change and don't see it as a sign of growth.

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.
