Pros

Our plan is to become the largest GRC Saas platform. There are some roadblocks, but overall I feel that the company knows what it's doing. The CEO, Brian, has a great track record as well.

Cons

Integrations between recently purchased solutions not fully baked.

Thank you for taking the time to share your review! It’s great that you’re seeing our progressive and innovative approach toward becoming the largest GRC Saas platform. We’re a growing, ambitious organization with lofty goals. However, growth can be complex and as we continue to align our organization, we are always learning and committed to continuous improvement and we’re grateful that you’re a part of that mission. We recognize that Diligent has grown rapidly, and we are focused on integrating our solutions and teams as seamlessly as possible. Integration processes are complex and come with unique challenges, but we’re working hard to remove those roadblocks and bring our unified platform to market for our clients. Thank you again for taking the time to share your thoughts. We’re so glad that you’re happy here and that you are a part of our growth journey. - Avigail Dadone, Chief People Officer

Pros

The product is market-leading, and the space is genuinely interesting. There's no shortage of smart, capable people at Diligent. A lot of talented managers exist within the org who could do more if given the room.

Cons

Direction changes constantly — sometimes it feels quarter over quarter. The result is widespread burnout and an inability to execute. Senior leaders rarely push back on the CEO, which means teams absorb every strategic shift without warning or context. HR leadership prioritizes serving the executive team over the broader employee population. The HR team is stretched thin and operates more like a compliance function than a culture or development partner. (Turnover within HR leadership has been notable.) Pay is below market. The equity program is opaque, poorly managed, and functions more as a retention mechanism than a genuine benefit (with no clear path to liquidity). There's a meaningful gap between what the company says it stands for—especially around employee experience—and what it actually delivers internally.
