      A cult that Pips people not in the cult - ZERO integrity and Loyalty

      Customer transactions specialist
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      While you are there and in their plan they will shower you with fake love and care, while they need you.

      Cons

      The moment leadership makes mistakes or decides you are not cult worthy, they put you on official or unofficial pips and give you no support or chance for success. HR only cares about the company and not the employees. Though this did not impact me personally, I did have to go through this with 2 colleagues over the years and sworn to silence. I had to sit back and watch Diligent abuse and mistreat people because had I said anything to HR. I would have been next. If you need a filler job to get you to the next one, Pick Diligent, just don't get comfortable and don't unpack. Just do your 8, get your money and look for another job. No pay and perks are worth the end result. Scary to think of how many people this happens to because in the end, they make you sign away your rights to get a small little check.

      Declining company, toxic environment

      Software engineer in test
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Competitive salary – among the top of the Hays salary range when I joined. Two-week recharge period (fully paid time off), which was a great perk. Flexible home office options. Projects had potential and offered room for growth. Initially, the company had a strong and inspiring vision.

      Cons

      Over time, benefits were gradually stripped away: recharge time reduced from two weeks to one day, then removed entirely. Cost-of-living allowance during Hungary’s high inflation period was temporary and eventually discontinued. Growing employee frustration due to ongoing, unresolved issues with the company’s flagship product. Hiring and promotion decisions often seemed more based on internal relationships than merit or skill. Interview process was poorly handled, with some interviewers displaying unprofessional or dismissive behavior — including gatekeeping and asking irrelevant questions. The interview experience reflects broader concerns about company culture and management quality. The annual salary increase does not maintain the purchasing power parity. The company easily get onto any kind of hype train, if other companies slashing home office, then Diligent does, if other companies do some AI related job then Diligent does. Don't follow other companies!
