Pros

There are no pros whatsoever.

Cons

I must say that I have been in the game for quite a while and I have never seen such INCOMPETENT managers . Starting from the Director and going down the ladder. They are clueless , disrespectful, and have no idea about management . They don't have any knowledge of the software/products that Diligent sells ,products that they supposedly "Support" and they are even worse when it comes to Mentoring and managing teams. All the good workers within the Support department have left , no wonder why , the team is getting weaker and weaker but Managers are being promoted. They are very comfortable in their seats getting their fat checks doing nothing except going to office events and leaving their teams stranded . They lie to you , constantly , no development plans , they do not provide support to their agents. It is very sad to see how Managers get rewarded by being lazy and horrible at their job. It is shocking how Diligent allows having leaders and mentors like that .The most toxic environment I have ever experienced. I would not recommend this Department to anyone.

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.
