      Pros

      Some colleagues are genuine and are just stuck in a bad situation. Benefits are on par with market offerings. 2 Wellness weeks given

      Cons

      C-Suite execs come across as disingenuous and operating almost like an exclusive club. The company has grown too large for it's own good, and processes were not scaled to keep up with the growth. Middle management seem to be preoccupied with pandering to C-Suite, and not providing genuine solutions to the problems. Teams leaders within the department that I worked for do not seem to get along with each other, and are basically making it hard for regular employees to do their day-to-day work. The last few acquisitions were not integrated properly systems and processes wise. Instead of using what is best practice, acquired companies were simply made to follow the bureaucratic/archaic processes that had not evolved. Many talents from previous acquisitions left/were let go, and what's left are just regular employees trying to make do with what's remained.

      Thank you for taking the time to share your candid feedback and for your many years of service to Diligent. We're glad that you had positive interactions with your colleagues — we agree that our team members around the globe are incredibly helpful and supportive. We’re also glad that you enjoyed the Recharge Weeks and benefits. As we continue to grow, we recognize that our increased scale can create challenges. We are working to evolve, improve and scale processes as well as empower our colleagues to manage and align priorities through tools like V2MOMs (our internal goal setting process). It’s our priority to integrate our solutions and teams as seamlessly as possible so we can bring our unified platform to market. To your feedback on management, we’re sorry to hear that this was your experience. It certainly does not align with the inclusive, transparent work culture that we aspire to deliver to all our employees, and we do take the feedback onboard. We are working to create something that hasn’t been created before, and we have huge expectations for what our team can do in the future. We don’t always get it right, but we work together to constantly evolve and move forward to meet our goals. Once again, I want to thank you for your service to Diligent. We appreciate your comments and will take them onboard as opportunities to improve. We wish you the best of luck moving forward. - Avigail Dadone, Chief People Officer

      Pros

      The product is market-leading, and the space is genuinely interesting. There's no shortage of smart, capable people at Diligent. A lot of talented managers exist within the org who could do more if given the room.

      Cons

      Direction changes constantly — sometimes it feels quarter over quarter. The result is widespread burnout and an inability to execute. Senior leaders rarely push back on the CEO, which means teams absorb every strategic shift without warning or context. HR leadership prioritizes serving the executive team over the broader employee population. The HR team is stretched thin and operates more like a compliance function than a culture or development partner. (Turnover within HR leadership has been notable.) Pay is below market. The equity program is opaque, poorly managed, and functions more as a retention mechanism than a genuine benefit (with no clear path to liquidity). There's a meaningful gap between what the company says it stands for—especially around employee experience—and what it actually delivers internally.
