Pros

My group were nice. Some team leads were nice too.

Cons

Poor training program. No practical training whatsoever, just weeks of being told to watch videos and do some exercises. Felt completely overwhelmed and underprepared. My own team lead consistently forgot to cc me in on emails, or send me invites for group meetings. Don’t think he knew he was my team lead.

We’re sorry to hear that your training experience did not live up to the high standards we set for welcoming employees to Diligent. We always want to set our new teammates up for success so they can hit the ground running with practical skills and a strong sense of our company’s culture and values. While we’ve worked to revamp our onboarding programme and have received very positive feedback, there’s always room to improve and ensure consistency across the board. Our Support team have also recently added more structure and interactive sessions to the training programme which we hope will further improve the experience. We appreciate your feedback, and if there is anything else you would like to share about your experience, we would be eager to hear it (anonymously) at HRconfidential@diligent.com. We sincerely hope your experience improves as you spend more time at Diligent! - 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.
