Pros

I worked under the leadership of Jessica and Gustavo, they’re the best managers I’ve ever had. The entire team was extremely supportive and our clients are the best!

Cons

The salary wasn’t the best and they don’t have a clear roadmap of career advancement.

Thank you for sharing your review. It’s true, we have some of the best clients around! And it’s wonderful that you were able to work with a supportive team and managers. Our employees are the beating heart of our business and it’s our top priority to make sure they feel celebrated and given the tools and support they need to not only be productive but to also love coming to work each day. As you mentioned, part of being supported includes career pathing. This is a key focus area for us, and we are in the process of rolling out a program to provide our teams with clear guidelines and steps to develop long-term and rewarding careers within Diligent and beyond. Thank you again for your review and service to Diligent and we wish you best of luck in your next adventure. - 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.
