Pros

Good people on the ground who try to do their best for their clients.

Cons

It is sad to see what a good company could become. The global teams have been discontented for quite some time but the constant lip service from Management to sell more to customers to increase revenue (who don't really need more that the basic service they signed up for); the increasing demands from Management to do more work (after making scores of people redundant); and the constant acquisitions of companies (good luck Galvanize, Steele!) without a cohesive strategy to create a unified platform to offer its clients have led many to leave the business. DIligent has also made many people redundant across its key service locations only to place new and untrained staff in Galway. The staff are so inexperienced that customers are constantly complaining to their poor customer success managers who do not shoulder the responsibility of of supporting their clients anymore and who are also saddled with learning an increasingly list of poorly developed and poorly supported products. The exodus is across many business units regardless of seniority. There was a time when Diligent could be recommended to others. Not anymore.

We appreciate your honest feedback. While this was a tough review to hear, it is important to understand the feedback. With this in mind, we recently embarked on a strategic transformation to align our organization to the evolving needs and challenges of our customers. As part of that, we established new international offices in geographies more closely aligned to our client base. We’ve been intensely focused on our onboarding and training programs for new hires, as well as our teams globally across Commercial, Product, and Customer Support. More recently, as you alluded to, we made two strategic acquisitions – Galvanize and Steele – that position us to achieve our vision to build a unified GRC platform, which is something we’re confident our clients will find most valuable. We recognize that there has been a lot of change and news to digest recently at Diligent. But we are confident these steps are the right ones for us to grow sustainably in the long-term – for the benefit of our clients and our team. And as always, wherever there have been near-term impacts to team members, we have strived to be as supportive as possible. I also want to acknowledge you feel that no one is listening – I am truly sorry to hear that. Our team members’ questions, thoughts, and reactions are paramount to us, and I encourage you to reach out to any of the leadership team or to HR (confidentially if you wish via hrconfidential@diligent.com) with any further thoughts you want to share. Thank you again for your post. - Avigail Dadone, Chief People Officer

Pros

Colleagues are nice and the company culture is good

Cons

Mostly focused on driving sales, not enough attention is paid to the front line customer support people who help to keep customers happy.

Thank you for your feedback. It’s great you’re having a positive experience at Diligent, but we certainly don’t want any of our teams to feel they are not receiving the attention they need to thrive. It’s critical that we never underestimate the value and hard work our customer support teams contribute, as investments in this area are investments in serving our clients. We have been committed to building out our frontline support teams as well as equipping them with the right tools and helping them to balance workloads across time zones. There’s always room for us to learn how best to support our functions, so please feel free to share any additional thoughts with us (confidentially if you wish) at hrconfidential@diligent.com. We appreciate your comments, thank you. - Avigail Dadone, Chief People Officer

We appreciate your feedback. Our teams certainly work hard, but we see this drive and commitment as a connection to our purpose and what we are on the path to building. Because we have high aspirations for our products and how we deliver for our clients.

We can always work on getting better, and our leadership team strives to improve and welcomes specific feedback to understand what can done to help make positive changes.
