Pros

The people are great. They work hard, appreciate each other, and support you when things get busy or overwhelming. Everyone I work with is friendly, has a great sense of humor, and really do want the best for the company and our customers. If you're reading reviews because you're considering joining, it's a great place to learn.

Cons

Cornerstone puts on a great show, but that's all it is. Underneath, it's a bunch of acquisitions taped together. The tech stack is old and the interface is hard to use. The leadership is split into camps that don't play nice together. The teams are siloed and their execs are in competition, and even if you have a friend in another org who can help, you're discouraged from talking to them. And every couple of quarters you'll wake up to find you have another manager or your coworkers are all laid off. It's ironic that the entertainment at this year's customer appreciation conference is a mentalist.

Thank you for taking the time to leave your feedback. I genuinely appreciate your honesty and understand where your feedback is coming from. While it's tough to hear some of these points, I know how important it is to listen and learn from experiences like yours. We recognize that change and growth can sometimes come with bumps along the way, and we're actively working to improve areas like our tech stack, team collaboration, and overall employee experience. Our leadership teams are focused on breaking down silos and fostering a more connected culture—change takes time, but we're committed to making meaningful progress. If you’re open to it, I’d be happy to chat further and hear more about your experience. --Carina Cortez
