      Organization that has lost its way / Now a PE controlled disaster

      Account executive
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Used to be a good company to work for / however of late the organization has turned on the very people who made it successful - clients are noticing this and cancelling their subscriptions. False promises of a platform when in fact all products have been purchased on a whim to increase valuation vs actual usefulness to clients Some good people remain in pockets

      Cons

      A hostile and self serving management team who frequently knife each other in the back let alone the employees who have got them to where they are. An incompetent and helpless layer of middle management is ever present to do the bidding of the higher ups No career development / no career plans - doesn’t matter if you’ve worked here a long long time somebody external will be brought in to manage you - and despite being totally clueless they will push you to overachieve unrealistic targets using profanities. Are committed to covering up anything remotely negative. Fake positivity / senior management will line their pockets at your expense - you are better off looking elsewhere for a career.

      We are disappointed to hear your perspective and that you feel things at Diligent changed for you during your time with us. Without question, we believe that our incredibly talented team is the backbone of our success. We strive to demonstrate our appreciation for their hard work in many ways – through market-competitive compensation and total rewards, investment in training and development pathways, resources for supporting wellness and mind health, and more. We are proud to have great longstanding relationships with our valued clients and have continued to evolve our organization to drive even greater impact for them. We’ve scaled and broadened our offerings and, very soon, will bring to market an integrated governance, risk, and compliance (GRC) platform that is highly responsive to their needs and that we’ve carefully built with their feedback. Along the way, we have implemented strategic changes to our business, the impacts of which we don’t take lightly. But we’re confident these are the right steps forward for Diligent’s long-term growth, which ultimately benefits all our stakeholders, including our talented team. Additionally, to your other comments, we’re taking comprehensive action on diversity, equity, inclusion, and intersectionality, including a global task force to serve as a voice for our employees, and the recent launch of a suite of Employee Resource Groups (ERGs) with guidance from our new DEII team. We take your feedback seriously and if there is anything you feel we need to know, please do share it with us (anonymously if you wish) at HRconfidential@diligent.com. We certainly don’t shy away from acknowledging when things can be better, and we’re working hard to constantly improve on all of these fronts. Thank you for taking the time for sharing your thoughts with us, and good luck on your next step. - Avigail Dadone, Chief People Officer

      Pros

      Nothing much is a pro here.

      Cons

      Bad managers, bad site lead. Nothing professionally done here. All is under a bad leader who favours people in his circle and doing their own thing in a directionless way.... God knows what the brand manager does - has no link to any client level activity or road shows on anything... just a standalone person doing secretarial work, ordering food and doing some site events. This should be under facilities function, right? So clueless.
