Pros

I have some very good co-workers, and giving people around the world access to training is fulfilling. That's about it.

Cons

There are too many to cover but I'll list out my top four: 1. The CEO is completely clueless. Cornerstone is the fifth stop in my career and this CEO is the worst one I've worked with by a landslide. He lacks any substantive understanding of the business, and is essentially a figurehead with all decisions of consequence being made by the CFO and PE firm. 2. The CFO is the most arrogant person I've ever met in my life (amusing given I've never heard of any of the companies he previously worked for). Screaming at and demeaning people in meetings isn't the way to be a leader, buddy. Get off the power trip. 3. It is borderline hysterical that Cornerstone's leaders are suggesting that this company will go public again one day. The company grows at less than 5% a year with a leadership team that has only demonstrated one core competency - cutting costs. In what fantasy world does that represent an attractive IPO candidate? Let's cut the BS already and talk reality. 4. To cut costs, the company has literally taken away everything that employees valued and shattered morale. People are working here for the paycheck, but not because they want to. That's a generality, but my informed guesstimate is that it applies to 75%+ of employees.
