Pros

A great opportunity to join an established Saas company that has just come to Galway. I've learnt so much in the last few months, I feel very well supported, the pay is great, the product is very good and the team I'm are very nice. Health insurance and dental insurance isn't something I've had before from qn employers. Also we got 2 extra days of holidays this year as a gift from the CEO!

Cons

There is lots of negativity as we are going through a transformation but that is to be expected. Also the shifts changes can be difficult but management are looking at changing this.

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.
