Pros

Central location and some great staff events. Fabulous colleagues and a great collection of client names to work with. It's a niche yet interesting business sector (if you like business)

Cons

Everyone is under pressure here. Very target and performance driven across all depts - don't expect a cheery or an easy ride, and don't expect a 9-5. The focus is 100% on growing the company very agressively and making huge amounts of $$ for its owners in a short period of time. With this comes a leadership team with huge egos and a passive-agressive management style that is tough to navigate through. Micro management is everywhere. As is stress leave, bullying, and performance reviews. Work hard, stay focused, and sacrifice your first born to do well here. Otherwise there are waaaay better companies out there.

Thank you for taking the time to write this review. We’re glad you enjoyed working with your Diligent colleagues and clients. While we are a fast-growing organization with big ambitions, we know that it is our collective team of amazing colleagues who will get us to where we aspire to go. This is why we’re continuing to add to our list of programs to promote sustainability among our teams — these are initiatives like Recharge Weeks, Meeting Free days, wellness programs, our Employee Assistance Program and Employee Resource Groups. That said, we are truly sorry to hear your other feedback. Bullying is in no way acceptable and not something we tolerate. We want every single team member around the globe to feel supported, safe and given autonomy in their roles. We take the concerns you have expressed seriously and would appreciate it if you would consider reaching out to our private HR mailbox at HRconfidential@diligent.com if you have more specifics to share. Thank you for your contributions to Diligent, and we wish you luck with your next opportunity. - Avigail Dadone, Chief People Officer

Pros

- Great people to work with - Extra days off that are not part of annual leave - Industry leading tools even if not perfect - Exciting industry that is relatively new meaning lots to learn and discover

Cons

- High workload - Company demand very high performance - Currently lots of internal changes (for the better perhaps, but growing pains)

Your feedback is much appreciated. We certainly agree that we get to work with great people here at Diligent. They are the heart of our organization and providing two additional weeks of paid time off through our company-wide Recharge Weeks is our way of saying a massive thank you! We’re a fast-growing company with big ambitions and while we do have an expectation of high performance, workloads shouldn’t be overwhelming. If you find them in any way unmanageable, I highly encourage you to discuss this with your manager or any member of the ELT. Thank you again for being part of our team and if there is anything we can do to better support you, please don’t hesitate to reach out. - Avigail Dadone, Chief People Officer
