      Pros

      It's absolutely exciting and rewarding to be a part of a big and aspiring vision. It's not always easy, sometimes it's even damn hard, but vision, purposeful goals, and working with nice and professional colleagues motivate going the extra mile, persevering, contributing to and building a success story one can look back in a few years and say: yes, I made an impact.

      Cons

      The corporation feels like a "little giant global startup". There's a lot going on. Don't expect everything smooth and easygoing. The workload is high, teams are globally distributed (timezones). One needs the right attitude, motivation, and resilience to enjoy the ride.

      Thank you for your positive and thoughtful comments. You make an excellent point about vision – we are inspired that so many of our teammates globally are united by our aspiration to modernize governance and support clients with transformative technology that enables them to achieve great things. And it certainly helps to get the opportunity to work closely with some of the best and brightest colleagues on the planet! We completely appreciate how much there is going on right now, as you say. Every company that has scaled and evolved at the pace that we have naturally experiences growing pains along the way. We don’t take these lightly, and if you ever have specific feedback on how and where we can improve, please know these are important discussions that we want to have with you, whether with HR or with a senior leader – whoever you feel most comfortable speaking to. We are also working hard to create more sustainable work practices to promote the well-being and sustainability of our teams, as we continue to grow and thrive – and hope you’ll be able to take advantage of some of the additional days off we granted this Summer (for the Northern Hemisphere!). Thank you again – both for your feedback and for everything you do to make an impact at Diligent. - 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.
