Pluspunten

Cornerstone has many talented, hardworking employees who genuinely care about customers and supporting one another. Some teams collaborate well despite ongoing challenges, and a few managers sincerely try to advocate for their teams. Flexible work arrangements remain a positive.

Minpunten

The company has gone through constant rounds of layoffs, creating ongoing uncertainty, low morale, and a lack of trust in leadership. Employees often feel undervalued, particularly those with shorter tenure, as the organization shows little investment in developing or retaining newer employees. While leadership frequently promotes career development and internal mobility, opportunities to advance from within are limited, and existing talent is often overlooked. Employee engagement survey feedback rarely leads to meaningful change, with the same concerns resurfacing year after year without clear action. Decision-making often feels disconnected from the realities of day-to-day work, and many leaders struggle to effectively advocate for their teams. There are also growing concerns among employees about potential age bias, especially during recent restructuring efforts. The company appears to be under financial pressure, reflected in frequent reorganizations, customer churn, and an unclear long-term strategy. The lack of salary increases planned for 2026 has further impacted morale, while retaining customers has become increasingly difficult as service quality and product focus decline.

Thank you for sharing your perspective and for your many years of service to Cornerstone. This is certainly not the feedback we want to hear from such a tenured Cornerstar. Know that we are actively strengthening internal mobility, leadership development, and follow-through on engagement feedback to ensure employees at all stages have opportunities to grow and feel supported and regularly provide updates on these efforts via our LXP page (I encourage you to check it out!). We also want to be clear that Cornerstone does not tolerate discrimination of any kind, and we continue to review our processes to ensure fairness and transparency. If you have specific concerns and have not already done so, please reach out to me or the People team to discuss. We remain committed to building a workplace where talent is valued, supported, and heard. --Carina Cortez

Thanks for sharing this; it's great to hear your positive outlook on our leadership and vision as that’s something we really care about. There can be challenges that come along with acquisitions, especially when it comes to aligning products and culture. While these decisions are made to support growth and long-term success, they don’t always feel seamless in the moment. Again, I appreciate you sharing your perspective and wish you all the best. -Carina Cortez, Chief People Officer

Pluspunten

The people outside of leadership are great.

Minpunten

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.
