Pros

There are many benefits to working here, including flexible time off, bonus options, continuing education support, resource groups, etc. I’ve met some fantastic teammates over the years.

Cons

Many of the good leaders have left, the ones that are empathetic or great at building bridges to other parts of the organization. It feels very siloed again, similar to 3 years ago.

Thank you for being here, Cornerstar! We understand mergers and acquisitions are difficult in nature and can prompt many feelings and reactions. To support our Cornerstars, we're building resilience among our teams through change management training. The merger of Cornerstone and Saba that took place in early 2020 expanded our customer base and reach, and it was naturally a catalyst for many leadership position changes over the past two years.

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.
