Strong leadership but challenges from acquisitions - Senior Director Cornerstone OnDemand Employee Review

The people outside of leadership are great.

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.

Good culture gone very very bad! Used to be a thriving business and good place to work. some caring people in the ranks trying to do the right thing but they are held back by loathsome, terrible management. General advice to job seekers: Run away fast! This is a viper nest fueled by the worst management you will ever encounter. This place brings out the worst in people. Blatant sexism, racism, inequity, bullying and condescension from management abound. Employees are trying to get out but market is tough. hope we can prevent you from making the worst mistake of your life. Consider yourself warned.

- Directionless, inept and narcissistic executive team has created a toxic, political, festering stew of corporate dysfunction that is poisoning its employees - Most employees are clinging to their job afraid of being next on list of never-ending layoffs - Latest launch is vaporware and just another broken promise that will only lead to further customer disappointment and churn - The new AI in the product is not the only thing hallucinating. this is a Hail Mary by an inept leadership team who has stayed well past their expiration date. - Funnily enough, new product launch is all about caring about humans. Why don’t you care about your own humans, Cornerstone Executive team? Where is your humanity? You keep laying off hundreds of our fellow team members and expect us to pick up the work of many! All to fuel your lame, not up to par AI. AI - 1, Humans - 0 -New “C- suite” members in product and marketing are junior players at best and lack experience, executive presence and intelligence - Failing business with no hope of turnaround - No one in their right mind would work here but the tech market right now makes it hard to get out - Management openly does not care about their teams and want people to leave to help their numbers - If there were a worst place to work award Cornerstone would be a top contender
