Pros

Excellent work life balance (you're never going to be in the office at 8:00 PM), great benefits (unlimited PTO), management is never breathing down my neck. A fairly large global organization, but all the upper management is still very approachable and you get the sense that everyone knows one another. From what I've seen, every role carries growth potential, and the company is open to existing employees switching departments if they would like. Unlike some other tech companies, Diligent doesn't try and indoctrinate its employees into believing that we are on some righteous journey and changing the world. I have never felt as if I need to drink any form of "Kool-Aid."

Cons

Commission structuring is a bit opaque - it would be nice to have a standard document that outlines percentages, figures, etc. Also, it sometimes appears that R & D is preoccupied with developing new products rather than investing to make existing products more robust. Also, the heating and A/C system in the NYC office isn't very good (freezing in the winter, stifling in the summer).

Pros

Very collaborative and inclusive culture. Lots of diversity in the company. Company on a very clear growth track and performing really strongly. Positive vibe around the office -- both for the track that we're on, but also because of the leadership team and how accessible they are to the staff. Great products which are loved by clients. Market leader in the space we operate. Hard-working environment but there is a mature and flexible attitude to things like time off, needing to be out of the office for personal appointments, picking up kids etc. Good desktop situation allows you to log in from home quite easily. Feels like a company which is changing and growing quickly - in a positive way.

Cons

Growing so fast we're running out of office space. Lots of integration happening which in some cases has meant some uncertainty for some teams but probably an unavoidable situation in most cases and things are being resolved quickly I think.

Pros

I have been at Diligent for over 1 year now, and I couldn't be more excited about making the decision to join. It checked all of the boxes that I personally was looking for - Growing, global firm yet with a long history and track record of winning. I found the product itself and he culture around customer experience, product and security to be extremely professional and something I have grown very proud of. I think it's cool that our product helps Board Members be better at governance and decision making, in a world where we need this to see companies/economies/ succeed in challenging times. It's actually a really fun environment too. People work hard and are serious about their work, but don't take themselves too seriously either. It's a nice mix of long tenured folks and new joiners from various firms and industries. You can be yourself, wear jeans or dress up and most importantly you can really feel your contribution. I couldn't say that in most of the super huge organizations where I had worked before and I was one of too many.

Cons

Need to get more recognition for Brand and Product, it's not a well known space.
