Bad Leadership

Pros

You may learn how office politics works in a real environment.

Cons

This is not a good company to join or build your career. There is a lack of strong and stable leadership. Leadership changes frequently, and even top management roles are not consistent. Decisions are often not based on merit or logic, but on personal alignment with certain individuals. Ongoing restructuring has been happening for years without clear direction or results. What is discussed in meetings (like due diligence and following processes) is often not actually followed. Employees who question decisions or try to do the right thing may not be supported. People who simply agree with leadership (“yes boss” attitude) are more likely to stay longer, even if decisions are not correct.

Pros

I really loved Diligent and was part of a layoff so my exit was sudden. I think the company is at an inflection point and it can be felt by everyone involved (ie there’s a lot of pressure to please investors - it happens). If you want to be in a challenging environment and learn quickly at scale, this is absolutely the place.

Cons

Upper level management and senior management can feel disconnected at times. Pay for some commercial teams can be below industry standard.
