Decent Workplace with a Great Office, but Career Growth is Limited - Anonymous employee Diligent Employee Review

If you’re unlucky, you may end up working on legacy technologies, which can be a career setback. Salary progression is slow—raises are capped at 3-5% annually, and even promotions only bring a minor salary increase. The company pays 20-30% less than the industry average (especially under senior level), so if you join with a low offer, it’s hard to catch up. Getting promoted is difficult, as performance alone isn’t enough—you need to be liked by management. Software developers don’t get company-wide recognition, making it feel like their contributions go unnoticed.
