Overall Satisfaction with Cornerstone OnDemand

We used Cornerstone OnDemand for semi-annual performance reviews. All departments used it to manage the performance review process, but only for managers to review direct reports. We did not use it to do peer 360 reviews.
  • Show users all performance review questions at once, so they can fill in questions as desired.
  • Show and allow users to download past reviews, to understand an employee's past performance.
  • Customization. Editing the performance review questions was limited and confusing.
  • Saving work. Dozens of employees would type directly into the performance review question boxes only for the system to refresh and not save their work. This is because the system logs you out after a short time on the website.
  • Easily manage all performance review cycles - the tool barely met expectations.
  • Help employees and managers track performance over time - the tool barely met expectations.
Small Improvements is a much stronger tool for Performance Reviews. It auto-saves work, shows past reviews easily in one place, and is highly customizable.
Too limited. I was consistently disappointed in the tool's limited ability to customize question content and flow.
Well suited:
  • Organizations with performance review processes that they do not need to customize.
  • Organizations that already use the product in other use cases and are looking to centralize all their HR and performance management details in one place.

Not well suited:
  • Any organizations that need to customize question content, question flow, or the user experience.
  • Tech-first environments where employees will feel frustrated by the user experience of being logged out quickly or have their work not saved.
