Creating development opportunities and career growth remains an important focus for us especially as we continue being our own "customer zero" - being the first ones to use and benefit from our own products. Skilling and workforce planning are some of our bread and butter, and our employees are encouraged to explore the many tools and resources we have available. We wish you all the best in your next chapter and future success! - Carina Cortez, Chief People Officer

Pros

The people outside of leadership are great.

Cons

The experience of working here has been consistently frustrating due to ongoing instability and a lack of alignment between leadership and employees. Layoffs are a recurring theme rather than an exception, which creates an environment where people are constantly on edge and unsure of their job security. Instead of building trust, leadership decisions often seem reactive and disconnected from the reality employees are actually dealing with day to day. Compensation is another major issue. Commission plans are frequently changed throughout the year, often with little clarity or consistency. On top of that, commission payments are regularly delayed or payed incorrectly which adds unnecessary stress and undermines confidence in the company’s ability to follow through on basic financial commitments to its employees. What makes it worse is the overall lack of transparency and professionalism in how these changes are communicated. Decisions feel top-down and out of touch, with little regard for how they impact morale or day-to-day motivation. I do not know a single person who would describe themselves as truly happy or secure in their role here. The culture that results from all of this is one of uncertainty, frustration, and burnout rather than growth or stability.

This is certainly not the experience we want our Cornerstars to have. With all the changes we have been experiencing, we have been committed to increase transparency internally so that everyone is aligned on where we're headed and clear on how leadership is supporting employees through change. We've done this by by adding more touchpoints with leadership, increased Q&A opportunities, and many enablement resources to empower you. We are actively working on feedback we've received on commission payments including team, tool, and process changes. This is of utmost importance. - Carina Cortez, Chief People Officer
