Pros

The team demonstrates strong collaboration and a welcoming atmosphere, making it easy for new joiners to feel supported. Colleagues are always willing to help newcomers quickly acquire the skills needed for their roles. Comprehensive documentation and a variety of online training resources are readily available, ensuring continuous learning. Additionally, a structured onboarding plan is in place to guide new employees through their initial days, making the transition smooth and effective.

Cons

The company is currently undergoing a period of transition and structural change, which can feel a bit unsettling when you're new. However, these changes are part of a standard process aimed at improving overall performance and aligning with best practices. With time, these adjustments support greater efficiency and growth

Thank you for sharing your experience as a new joiner. It's great to hear how you have been set up for success! I appreciate you acknowledging the broader transition the company is navigating. We know that change can feel uncertain, especially in your first year, but these shifts are aimed at creating stronger foundations for long-term performance and employee experience. It’s encouraging to hear that your manager is creating an environment where you feel welcomed, supported, and able to thrive, and I hope you find that here for many years to come. Thank you for taking the time to share! --Carina Cortez

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.
