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
Review from Sales Dept
Closing better product just because Sales Team do not know how to sell them is really bad thing.
Review from Engineering Dept
I agree that the leadership within my business unit is effective and working on the right priorities. I would like to see the CEO more focused on employee engagement and building back the strong culture we once had.
Review from Marketing Dept
After the Saba merger lot of changes have happened, good and bad and i believe the executive team needs to be more sensitive to ensure that we are working as one team and not as opponents
Review from IT 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 Sales Dept
What do your coworkers need to improve and how could you work together better?
We could do a better job of collaborating remotely – we use too many different t
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.
Review from Customer Success Dept
There are still two groups of people, Legacy Cornerstone and Legacy Saba, and that continues to cause division.
Review from Sales 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 Sales Dept
Listen to employees, compensate them better, company needs to think about the working hours, flexible doesn't means 24 hours
Review from Engineering Dept
What would you improve about your company's interview process?
Takes way too long. Weeks.
Review from Product Dept
Interview process takes way too long
Review from Product 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.
Review from Sales Dept
Constant change in the company's focus/direction. Lack of investments in viable products due to unknown or irrational reasons. Inorganic growth
Review from Engineering Dept
Future of my project is unclear
Review from Engineering Dept
Lot of things have changed after the Saba merge and has brought down the culture or the way CSOD used to be. We all need to work as One team to bring CSOD back to its glory.
Review from IT Dept
What would you most like to see improved at your company?
Get out of Clearlake's oversight, go public, and replace top leadership with leaders that can push company success and rebuild a cohesive culture.
Review from Sales Dept
yet to be determined since starting in August
Review from Sales Dept
Be a little less reactive, if possible without losing our ability to respond to changes in this space.
