Pros

As a remote employee, I have loved having the flexibility to work from home while having some in-office perks. I was trained in the office and attended in-person events before COVID. I enjoy the vacation policy and the flex time as well as the assistance on the gym membership. I feel supported by the company as we were given numerous mental health check-ins as well as virtual events to boost morale. I have been really pleased with the DEI&I inititiatives and am happy to see the creation of new ERG's!

Cons

Acquisitions are happening quickly, sometimes not seamlessly. Some top developer talent has been lost in the move to Ireland.

We are glad to hear you’re having a positive experience with Diligent across many fronts! In particular, it’s great that you’ve enjoyed the best of both worlds: the flexibility afforded by working from home – which will continue to be important for our valued team – as well as the benefits of being in-office (and we’re certainly excited to return later this fall!). As importantly, it’s gratifying to hear you’ve felt supported around mental health and are excited about our DEII initiatives and ERGs; all of these are ways in which we’re focused on empowering our people to succeed and thrive within our global community. To your other points, you’re right that we have continued to make strategic acquisitions in support of our GRC vision. While we’ve worked tirelessly to ensure as smooth and seamless an integration as possible, we know that, naturally, there can be bumps along the way. If you ever have feedback or ideas on ways that we can improve, we would love to hear them. Additionally, our Customer Success teams are the cornerstone of our success; they are an essential reason why our clients trust Diligent and build longstanding relationships. We will take your feedback on board and appreciate your continued contributions to Diligent. - Avigail Dadone, Chief People Officer
