Great opportunity to grow your skills and feel empowered to run your accounts.

Has been some stagnation around pay and transparency for promotions for last few years. Feels like sales incentives have been cut without improved incentivations

Pros

I had the privilege of working at Cornerstone OnDemand for over a decade, specifically within the Cloud and Engineering department. During this time, I witnessed the incredible transformation and growth of the organization, especially within the cloud division. This journey not only honed my technical skills but also shaped my core professional values. The Cloud and Engineering department is more than just a workplace; it’s a nurturing environment where innovation, collaboration, and continuous learning are at the forefront. The leadership team is exceptionally supportive, encouraging every team member to push boundaries and think creatively. This culture of encouragement and support is a cornerstone (pun intended) of what makes the department so special.

Cons

So many acquisitions and can be more transparent about the future
