Pros

Work remotely So understaffed/under-resourced that there are many opportunities to learn and gain new experiences.

Cons

It is not humanly possible to integrate this many companies into one unit in such a short period of time. Change can be invigorating and energizing and exciting but this is just draining and exhausting This is a private equity situation - probably no worse than other similar situations - investors put in money, try to make a quick turnaround and get out with a large profit. Ready for them to leave hoping that whoever comes next has more interest in operating a sustainable business.

Thank you for your comments. We hear your feedback and certainly appreciate how much has been happening at Diligent lately – not least the important strategic acquisitions we’ve made this year, as a complement to our track record of significant organic growth. We are really grateful to our teams around the world who have risen to the challenges of working in a fast-paced culture and supporting our growth journey. Every company that has scaled and evolved at the pace that we have, in pursuit of fulfilling an important purpose, naturally experiences some growing pains – the integration of acquisitions included. We don’t take these lightly and, throughout our integration efforts, have done everything we can to minimize disruptions to our customers and teams internally. We also know how important it is to help our teams achieve a sustainable work-life balance, which is why we have implemented initiatives recently such as no internal meeting days and additional vacation days over the past couple months – and will continue to do so. If you ever have specific feedback on how and where we can improve and better support you, please don’t be afraid to share it with your manager or leader, or anonymously at HRconfidential@diligent.com. Thank you again. - Avigail Dadone, Chief People Officer

Pros

none, really, a paycheck, Ok I have to enter 5 more words, I did.

Cons

don't bother going to work here, unless, you are a full fledged old and fat sheep who just wants to pass the time till retirement or death, whichever comes first. Management is greedy, and protecting their turf, not really interested in moving the company anywhere, other than their own pocket!

If you like workplace politics, you'll love Diligent!

Pros

Lots of responsibilities to take on and lots of learning opportunities. Very fast-paced, you will not be bored with constant acquisitions. Generous benefits and PTO (that is if you can actually take time off). There are a few brilliant (now former) employees who have worked here that I am very grateful for the opportunity to have worked with. Fabulous holiday parties! You get paid! (Snacks were nice too, but pale in comparison to my current employer's offerings.)

Cons

Pay lower than the industry standard. Lots of responsibility, no authority. Insane hours and non-existent work-life balance. Expect to work weekends, evenings, and holidays. If you enjoy having a life outside of the office, run. Everything is extremely political and politics take precedence over efficiency and results. Often about who you know, rather than what you know. Frequent layoffs due to the constant-changing organizational structure due to acquisitions. A lot of people look miserable; not a very friendly or social environment. Toxic environment. Poor communication. Need I go on?

We truly appreciate your honest feedback. While we are pleased to hear that you enjoyed our vast learning opportunities, fast-paced work environment and generous benefits, we are disappointed in the factors you listed as detractors. It is our goal to provide an environment that offers work-life balance and fairness to all colleagues. Diligent has grown quickly and we are working to acclimate our workload and culture in our many offices around the world. Please know that we take your view onboard and will work to ensure we are prioritizing balance and fair-mindedness in all our offices, in accordance with our company policies. - Avigail Dadone, Chief People Officer
