      Wonderful colleagues/business mired by a dismal, incompetent board of directors.

      Pros

      Well, I still deeply miss all of my colleagues who were exceptional. I doubt I'll find a marketing team with people like that again. There was always a ton of interesting work to do. I learned years of extremely valuable skills and received extensive experience. You want to learn about corporate b2b enterprise marketing? Diligent is the place to do it. I received a generous severance when I was laid off and given ample notice. At the end of the day, I was rewarded for my efforts. Thanks to the caring individuals who ensured this happened. The entire marketing org was filled with smart, caring and passionate individuals. I get sad just thinking about how much I miss them.

      Cons

      Constant mismanagement of projects, timing and resources. (any huge company will have this to some degree) Company is entirely unsure of what it is, what it wants to be and how to get there. When I joined, this was not the case. Get ready to work after hours most days as people will constantly force work on you when it suits them best. This wouldn't have been an issue had I known I'd never amount to anything at this org. I worked here for almost 3 years without ever being promoted but was "celebrated" as a productive employee. YOU WILL BE LIED TO ABOUT YOUR CAREER PROGRESSION EVERY TIME YOU ASK. Don't come here looking for tangible career progression, join diligent for the work experience. It's like McDonald's. Company just spent over a billion dollars just to inevitably fire the employees of the acquisitions a few years down the road... Ask me how I know...

      Poor training

      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
