Business Outlook

Pros

You will be working with very smart and helpful people. Everyone at the IC and most mid-managers are helpful and supportive. The IT technical stack is a little outdated and internal processes can be a bit chaos. But working on it and with the help of managers is improving. Growth potential is good. There is opportunity to work on many different types of things. The company itself is ok. No major complaints there.

Cons

IT leadership is a big problem. The CIO is toxic and talks very condescending to the teams. She will put unrealistic and deadlines on the team – not caring about work & life balance. It is common to have very long hours even when on leave. There is no sense of priority and what is important for the business – everything must be delivered RIGHT NOW. with no care of what it does to the team. Most people are always stressed, scared, and have burn out.

Cornerstone is committed to creating a work environment that promotes well-being, psychological safety, and support. Long hours and burnout should not be the norm, although they may occur from time to time with significant launches. We are currently reviewing feedback from our most recent engagement survey to determine action plans, and we continue to hold our leaders accountable to our values of respect and empowerment. Given what you shared about your experience, I’d appreciate it if you would reach out to me or a member of the People team so that we can learn more and ensure that the right support is in place for you and your team. - Carina Cortez
