I had heard some insight from a friend who still works there and sounds like they are treating her horribly so I felt like I should voice my experience and why I left.
Diligent is NOT an easy place to work. The culture is tense and the furthest thing from positive or happy. It feels cult-like where speaking up would get you a target on your back. You don't feel like a real human at Diligent. It's clear, you are just a number.
Leadership was always switching gears. You'd have one strategy roll out and then the next month some complete new direction. And you'll see leadership leave frequently as the strategy changes.
The company went hybrid so forced employees back into an office after years of hiring all over. Doing this all while paying people below market rate in the most expensive places in the country.
The workload is undoable across most teams and DO NOT work really hard thinking hard work pays off here. This company will not promote you for your good work and your boss will get replaced with someone externally whether they are qualified or not. Your diligent career will start and end with the title they gave you so make sure you are looking for just a 1-2 year stepping stone if you are going to accept an offer there.
In all, you should fear getting fired or laid off. They are a mess. Run. Avoid. Don't work for this awful company.
