Thank you for your feedback. Regular and transparent communication has been a major area of focus for our entire leadership team – and we are happy to hear you’ve appreciated this, along with our benefits and perks! As for your constructive comment, we do strive to be mindful of people’s time when planning meetings (whether team related or broader company meetings about important business updates or DEI&I sessions). Especially in a world with remote work it’s been challenging for us all. It’s a good reminder, and we take this feedback onboard; if you have any more specific feedback, we’d be happy to learn more at HRconfidential@diligent.com. We appreciate your continued contributions to Diligent! - Avigail Dadone, Chief People Officer

We appreciate you sharing your thoughts. Diligent is a fast-paced environment that highly encourages our teammates to propose fresh ideas, tackle new projects, and embrace their drive and creativity. We recognize that as we’ve positioned Diligent for long-term growth, there has been a significant amount of change in recent months. We don’t underestimate how difficult that can be, but also know it’s important for us to embrace so that we can continue to drive the greatest impact for our clients. There will naturally be bumps along the way, but we’ve worked hard wherever we can to make any transitions as seamless and smooth as possible for our teams, our customers, and all our other stakeholders. We encourage you to discuss your concerns with us by sharing (confidentially if you wish) at HRconfidential@diligent.com. Thanks for your commitment to our team’s success! - Avigail Dadone, Chief People Officer

Thank you for your input! As the VP of R&D, hopefully I can provide more insight. As a company we always strive to be competitive, and regularly adjust pay for people without them asking for it. Furthermore, we are open to and work with our employees to bring them to appropriate levels if they believe they are misaligned with the market. After all, pay is important to us all; so let's not make it a taboo to talk about it. :) With regards to career progression, I am sorry to hear that. I can tell you that most managers have regularly 1-on-1s, we use an OKR system to set goals (including personal growth), and managers and individuals create career development plans to ensure individuals have actionable steps to get to their goal. There is a clear process by which we operate (Kanban based), and many opportunities to lead challenging work or present on technical topics. We have no artificial barriers in Galvanize in terms of years or role count limits (aside from Management roles where there is a limit in how many Managers and Directors you can practically have). If you are demonstrating potential to be at the next level, we 100% want you to be there! After all, why not? We have no incentive to hold people back. Hopefully that helps. And if it doesn't, please feel free to reach out to me.
