Diligent Software Developer reviews

Thank you for your input! As the VP of R&D, hopefully I can provide more insight. As a company we always strive to be competitive, and regularly adjust pay for people without them asking for it. Furthermore, we are open to and work with our employees to bring them to appropriate levels if they believe they are misaligned with the market. After all, pay is important to us all; so let's not make it a taboo to talk about it. :) With regards to career progression, I am sorry to hear that. I can tell you that most managers have regularly 1-on-1s, we use an OKR system to set goals (including personal growth), and managers and individuals create career development plans to ensure individuals have actionable steps to get to their goal. There is a clear process by which we operate (Kanban based), and many opportunities to lead challenging work or present on technical topics. We have no artificial barriers in Galvanize in terms of years or role count limits (aside from Management roles where there is a limit in how many Managers and Directors you can practically have). If you are demonstrating potential to be at the next level, we 100% want you to be there! After all, why not? We have no incentive to hold people back. Hopefully that helps. And if it doesn't, please feel free to reach out to me.

We appreciate your feedback. Our teams certainly work hard, but we see this drive and commitment as a connection to our purpose and what we are on the path to building. Because we have high aspirations for our products and how we deliver for our clients. Thankfully, our teams are very talented, energized and love to support one another in collaborating to achieve our goals together. We can always work on getting better, and our leadership team strives to improve and welcomes specific feedback to understand what can done to help make positive changes. Thanks again for your comments. – Avigail Dadone, Chief People Officer
