Pros

Diligent fosters a genuinely positive company culture where collaboration and inclusivity are more than just buzzwords. The leadership actively supports innovation, investing in modern technologies and agile methodologies that keep the company competitive and future-focused. Employees are regularly recognized for their contributions, and appreciation is built into the company DNA - something that really boosts morale and motivation.

Cons

While the push for innovation is strong, the company sometimes suffers from frequent shifts in focus. Strategic priorities can change quickly, which occasionally leads to confusion among teams. Long-term goals and overall vision could be communicated more clearly from the top down to help align efforts across departments.

Pros

Decent pay, unlimited PTO and good benefits

Cons

Leadership will tell you want you want to hear to keep you focused on being a BDR instead of helping you get promoted. Majority of AE type roles are not posted internally and do a ton of external hiring instead of promotions.
