Pros

Working with a variety of teams. Significant Technical stack and training to support FAST PACED - this is a pro, lots of activity, projects work and can do attitude. If you want to get exposure to all the tools to drive career growth then this is what you need. Global - potential to reposition or visit other sites globally for events Pays well! You will be rewarded for your hard work. Great community being built in the Galway branch with a strong focus on culture and diversity. SAAS, a way into an industry that is constantly developing and providing work opportunities.

Cons

Pressure environment, you need to be resilient and enjoy being challenged but given all the tools to succeed.

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.
