      Pros

      While you are there and in their plan they will shower you with fake love and care, while they need you.

      Cons

      The moment leadership makes mistakes or decides you are not cult worthy, they put you on official or unofficial pips and give you no support or chance for success. HR only cares about the company and not the employees. Though this did not impact me personally, I did have to go through this with 2 colleagues over the years and sworn to silence. I had to sit back and watch Diligent abuse and mistreat people because had I said anything to HR. I would have been next. If you need a filler job to get you to the next one, Pick Diligent, just don't get comfortable and don't unpack. Just do your 8, get your money and look for another job. No pay and perks are worth the end result. Scary to think of how many people this happens to because in the end, they make you sign away your rights to get a small little check.

      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.
