Pros

- Market leading products with strong customer loyalty - Areas of global leadership that are strategic thinkers.

Cons

- Driving high performers out of business based on global restructure that continues to not address APAC market conditions. - Customer experience quickly being eroded for profit. - International sales leadership focused on "internal messaging" versus enabling urgent blocks to be removed locally in APAC. - Sales structure seeing over commitment to areas and less support for critical areas of growth. - Global people leadership more focused on external market messaging to address consistent resignations across the globe - including verbose and misleading responses on this platform - then enabling people to thrive and succeed. - Moving to a model that is removing ability to earn (lesser paid people with smaller earning potential). - Sales leadership in Australia lacks knowledge of governance required to effectively position business long term. - Local HR focused on big picture processes and lacks capability to drive culture locally. - Embarrassing off boarding processes that speak to not addressing issues repeated on multiple departures.

Diligent Response

Thank you for your feedback. We appreciate your comments on the strength of our products, longstanding relationships with our valued clients, and market leadership. We did recently undertake a strategic transformation of our business, in order to drive even greater impact for our clients. The steps we have taken and continue to take were based directly on a thoughtful analysis of our global business, as well as direct feedback from our customers and internal teams on how we could make it easier to do business both within and outside of Diligent. We don’t take lightly the impacts of those changes to certain teams, but it’s important to note that through our transformation, we also ramped up teams in many parts of the world, focused on improving many of our internal processes, and implemented additional resources to support individuals and teams in-region based on ongoing feedback. As for your other comments, we are really sorry to hear about your experience and how things changed for you at Diligent. We want every team member at Diligent to feel like they have a runway for growth with us, are appreciated and rewarded for their hard work and contributions to our success, and are enjoying our fast-paced, collaborative, and client-focused culture. We take your feedback onboard and wish that there is more we could have done for you during your time with us. Regardless, we thank you again for these comments, and best of luck on your next step. - Avigail Dadone, Chief People Officer

Pros

Decent pay, unlimited PTO and good benefits

Cons

Leadership will tell you want you want to hear to keep you focused on being a BDR instead of helping you get promoted. Majority of AE type roles are not posted internally and do a ton of external hiring instead of promotions.
