Pros

There are none except that you will get paid to work your behind.

Cons

Worked at Diligent a few years back. I did not get around to writing a review for this company before but a friend asked me about the company because they have job openings. I decided to write this review to help people looking for job at this place. There are a bunch of people sweet to your face but will throw you under the bus the moment you turn around. My team lead was someone who would steal all the credit for your work and your ideas and would throw you under the bus for his mistakes. Either upper management is just stupid that they do not see how he takes all the credit for everything or they just don't care. Our manager had a good relationship with him from last job so he sided with this team lead as well because all this happened right in front of him and he never did anything. If you care about your career don't work at Diligent

Pros

Work life balance is pretty good. A lot of growth provides a (false) sense of job security. Work from home flexibility if needed

Cons

There was a time I absolutely loved working for this company. This past year has been a complete let down, and although I’m still employed by Diligent, I find myself rationing with myself every day that I don’t need to eat and should quit until I find a new job. The business outlook of the company is positive, with several recent acquisitions and superior product development, however this doesn’t negate the soul draining atmosphere one must endure. Morale amongst the Customer Success teams are at an all-time low, and employees gather in the kitchen to discuss their disgust with the lack of transparency. The commission structure has changed almost every quarter in 2017, and not for the better. Customer Success is notified days prior to commission pay out that the structure has changed, and the changes are retroactive. The Customer Success teams are stretched to the max, managing over 200 clients individually with new KPI’s, quotas, onsite visit targets, and metrics to be measured on every so often. Management has attempted to reinvent the company culture with clever sayings and swag we will never use. If you really want to boost morale, stop making retroactive changes to the commission structure and stop treating your employees like sales mules when they are supposed to be ‘trusted advisers’ to your clients. Most people loved working for Diligent at one point… I’m hopeful things will change.

Hostile Work Environment

Pros

There are some great people (none of the execs would come close to making this list).

Cons

A corrupt and hostile working environment where there is a complete divide between "regular" workers and Upper Management/Executives. I reported to someone who regularly came back from lunch intoxicated and no one cared. There is zero regard for employees feelings or claims. Another post said it perfect, a lot of claims and allegations are being made and nothing is being done. HR is a joke. They turn issues back to employees and do nothing to help situations when they arise.

We are deeply disappointed in your review and want you to know that we take your feedback to heart. It is our goal (and frankly, part of our company policy) that all employees are treated with the utmost respect and fairness and must behave in accordance with our policies. Make no mistake that the issues you’ve brought to our attention will be looked into further. This type of behavior has never been tolerated and does not reflect the cooperative, supportive and inclusive work environment we strive for at Diligent. Thank you for taking the time to provide your feedback. - Avigail Dadone, Chief People Officer
