We were so pleased to read your review about your time at Diligent. It's particularly rewarding to hear that you appreciate our culture, team, compensation, and commitment to diversity and inclusion. These aspects are at the heart of what we strive to create as a company. Your point about feeling like a "small fish" in a large organization is something we take seriously. We continually explore ways to foster a sense of connection and belonging for everyone at Diligent, regardless of their role or location. Initiatives that promote a One Diligent mindset – our Town Halls, V2MOM goal-setting process, and our Change Agent program are part of this effort, but we're always open to new ideas and feedback. Thank you for your dedication and long service! We appreciate your contributions and are committed to making Diligent a place where everyone feels valued and empowered.

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.
