You'll like the people you work with, but it's a tough environment.
Pros
1. At Cornerstone the environment is youthful and vibrant. There are a lot of young fun people there that are easy to get a long with. 2. The leadership is very good at making money. All of the founders have a background in finance so you can be assured that they will try to maximize the stock price. Most people feel confident that their options will be worth something.
Cons
1. It is a very fast moving company that doesn't allow time to do things thoroughly. Because they are so cost conscious, they push every employee to do more work than is possible and have unreasonable deadlines. This leads to shoddy work that could be avoided by hiring more resources. 2. Compensation is not up to par with other companies. The main motivator is the stock options. 3. The environment is overly political with a lot of finger pointing between departments. This is probably due to the lack of resources and high stress level of most employees.
