About Us

Hard to believe that when it started in 1999, Cornerstone OnDemand was nothing more than an idea and a whiteboard. Today, that simple idea has grown into a global technology company that’s changing the way the world works.

Being a Cornerstar. We think that’s pretty cool. And we think it’s important, because that same spirit of collaboration and innovation, that same acute awareness that a few passionate people are capable of accomplishing big things and that small ideas can grow exponentially, lives on at Cornerstone today. We’re not a typical tech company (even with our foosball tables, complimentary food and generous stock options), because, well, our employees aren’t your typical techies.

We place great value on development and believe everyone can achieve their career dreams when provided with the opportunity to stretch beyond what seems possible. We believe in hiring smart people and challenging them with lots of responsibility early on. It’s not easy, but training for the Olympics isn’t easy either. We know that if you want to compete, you need world-class training and support every day. That’s how we work.
