Pros

Flexible work, good colleagues, open communication.

Cons

*Constant changes to EVERYTHING which is resulting in internal confusion and impossibility to follow objectives, *Diligent One platform...it exists but seems an abstract object. *You will be pushed to engage with clients that do not want to engage and finding reasons to talk with them for any thing. *Customer First seems like customer last sometimes. *Boards is Dil's cash cow, but you will deal with more than one product and feel lost. They are complex and take time to learn. Management knows but doesn't care it seems. *Some products from past acquisitions are not working great and you still have to manage the relationship. *Gaps in payments to employees , unfair differences. *High turnover. *Throws thousands in big events but has employees chasing bonuses like donkeys behind carrots. *Several good colleagues have been let go because of your impossible objectives and messed up internal processes. *Stress is real here. I feel I would have been on sick leave if I didn't need to work. But even this has a limit.

We’re glad to hear that flexibility, strong peer relationships, and open communication have been positive aspects of your time at Diligent. That said, we’re truly sorry to hear about the challenges you’ve described, particularly around constant change, internal alignment, product complexity, pressure in the CSM role, and concerns about compensation fairness. We understand how frustrating and exhausting these issues can feel, and we deeply appreciate you being candid. Your input reinforces the need to continue improving clarity around our internal processes, expectations, and platform strategy. We know that transitions, especially as we integrate products and evolve our customer engagement approach, can create strain, and we’re actively working to address this through better enablement, support, and leadership transparency. We’d welcome the opportunity to connect more directly so we can better understand your experience and ensure your feedback helps shape meaningful improvements. If you're open to it, please reach out to us at HRConfidential@diligent.com. Thank you again for your contributions over the past few years.

Pros

Cab Hybrid Food (which is btw not eatable)

Cons

1. Rapid decline in Bangalore office's work environment. Growth opportunities have diminished. 2. 1-2% hike 3. New leadership have created a challenging atmosphere. 4. Putting people on PIP without any reason have resulted in employee resignations. Even when employee was completing 90-100% of their KPIs. They didn't have answer to justify these steps. 4. Targeting people on personal basis. 5. High levels of stress and anxiety among people. 6. Would not recommend working at the Bangalore office in its current state. 7. HR is of no use, she will never help. 8. NO employee engagement activities. 9. NO promotions 10. Using PIPs and threats to end hybrid work and make everyone work fully onsite. Would like to ask the management - Is fear-based management and mandatory onsite the best way to retain talent?
