This is tricky to answer because we are going through so much change. What I do like is the fact that they are intelligent committed individuals.
Review from Marketing Dept
What does the leadership team need to get better at?
The leadership team should prioritize the resolution of existing issues and the improvement of current processes. Rather than pursuing acquisitions and introducing new products, the focus should be on nurturing our talented workforce and retaining experienced team members.
Review from Customer Support Dept
Communications are limited and restricted to leadership. With the clear intention to continue to buy more companies, the lack of communications should be addressed. The clashing of culture, goals, strategy when 2-3-4 or more companies come together is a significant challenge for leadership

Closing better product just because Sales Team do not know how to sell them is really bad thing.

Review from Marketing Dept
Why do you feel undervalued and what would make you feel better about your compensation?
Because I recently learned that a brand new hire - in the exact same role - has a base salary 50% more than mine. And I have been there 5+ years.
Review from Sales Dept
1. Salary is not as per market standard. 2. No onsite opportunity 3. Promotion cycle is slow
Review from Product Dept
Pay me my market rate:) Im about £50k short of what I know I could get in the marketplace - £30k-£40k short on base and £35k short on target bonus (40% base). Not going anywhere - having
Review from Business Development Dept
The sales compensation plans are a mess. Last year I had 4 compensation plans. This year my comp plan was not executed until April or May. There is no excuse for not being able to tell an employee how much they will get paid and how/when.
Review from Sales Dept
Variable component is missing and the same needs to be included.

Review from Marketing Dept
Depending on the team, CSOD has very talented employees. Some teams have higher expectations and standard than others. If we're not willing to remove those employees, then some managers need to do better at helping employees find other roles to optimize their skills.
Review from Marketing Dept
Lean into change and approach work with more curiosity and generosity. Sometimes team members are inhibited from growth because they are set in their ways. This stems sometimes stems from leadership.
Review from Customer Support Dept
We need to figure out who to work with in many cases. The people I used to work with, in many cases for the same tasks, have changed from even 6 months ago. It is often hard to find who I need to talk to to get my work done.

The inclusivity of everyone. There is a lot of diversity, which is so very important.
Review from Customer Support Dept
What needs to change to make the company culture better?
Care more. Make people feel like they matter. Midlevel managers are disconnected and could do a better job of connecting with the little people. I MMhave spoken to my global team leader twice in the last 10 months, 1:1. With 3 direct reports and a team of 12-14, you would think there would be time
Review from Sales Dept
Reconnecting people. I read an article posted on Workplace about re-onboarding everyone because businesses and the people remaining at work in them have turned over so significantly that nobody is a veteran anymore. I felt it deeply.
Review from Customer Success Dept
business oriented, support local people on the field
Review from Sales Dept
It would be nice if it was not so political. Leadership listens to a few VP or higher and makes decisons without asking the people who do the work. Makes it feel like factory work.

Review from Marketing Dept
What's going wrong and how can it be improved?
The executive team has destroyed any semblance of Cornerstone's formerly great culture & passion and replaced it with micromanagement, backstabbing leadership and constant CxO turnover.
Review from Sales Dept
Provide a clear direction for the department and back that up with minimal investment in our success. The department has been disassembled and it is difficult to see what the future holds.

Constant change in the company's focus/direction. Lack of investments in viable products due to unknown or irrational reasons. Inorganic growth
