Pros

Great culture, great people, good leadership, good opportunities, fair to good compensation, great sales and marketing.

Cons

Too big, large and fragmented product portfolio, fragmented focus on certain areas, a bit hesitant strategy, some teams get less recognition and management focus. A bit weak bonus despite the huge profit.

Thank you for letting us know how we’re doing! It’s great to hear that you appreciated our vibrant, diverse work culture as a multinational company, as well as our talented and collaborative colleagues. We’re also happy to hear that you valued our dedicated leadership team and the many opportunities for growth and development, as well as competitive compensation. To your comments on the product strategy and corporate environment, we’re working to continually improve our culture and support collaboration and transparency. As a high-growth technology company with ambitions for providing best-in-class GRC and ESG solutions on one unified platform we strive to provide the greatest possible impact for our clients. We are intensely focused on integrating our solutions and building out functionality as smoothly as we can — and that takes time. Meanwhile, to improve transparency and cross-team communications, we’ve introduced tools like V2MOMs (our internal goal setting process), established Employee Resource Groups (ERGs), monthly Town Halls, designated Slack channels, and fun team-building activities across our offices. And we are constantly looking for new ways to connect and support our colleagues! If you have specific ideas on how we can continue to improve, we’d be happy to take them into consideration. I would encourage you to share those with your manager or email hrconfidential@diligent.com. Thank you again for taking the time to offer your feedback and for being a valued part of our team! - 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.
