Overall Satisfaction with Cornerstone OnDemand

We use Cornerstone OnDemand for our Performance Management System and Learning Management System, as well as Content Anytime to enrich our educational opportunities for employees. Performance Check-Ins supports our rating-less continuous performance feedback process, and allows employees and managers a simple way to stay on track and connected with each other in achieving goals and progress. The LMS and Content Anytime allows us to support the high expectations for our continuous learning environment in developing strong, savvy, emotionally and culturally intelligent employees. This keeps our organization innovative, progressive, and best able to serve our mission and the people we serve. The better we are, the more we can help.

Very customizable, and highly robust capabilities.
CSOD is highly customizable and robust making it a great platform for accomplishing complex needs for performance, learning, and reporting on all of it. However, customization capability and robust also makes it complex and will require full time employees to be dedicated to building and maintaining the system, or hiring a technology/programming "partner" to fulfill that role in addition to a part time employee in-house. This does double the cost of the system, however, still seems to be competitive with other platforms.
