Pros

- teams are stacked with visionary's who see things in a different light and try to solve for unique problems in innovative ways - flexible time off - globally diverse team - the ability to contribute and build out the foundations of Deel

Cons

Cons are specific to every individual, but generally if you are not motivated to get stuff done efficiently and timely and contribute to the overall success of the team / company in a genuinely meaningful way, then this is probably not the company for you.

Thank you for your feedback and for your support of our hardworking management! You are totally right, Deel is not the place for everyone and we are thoughtful and honest in this when communicating with team members and candidates. We are in a hyper-growth phase where we expect hard work, efficiency, working autonomously, taking ownership and working at a quality speed for delivery. These expectations may not be for all - but it is how we work successfully during this time. Thank you for your hard work and dedication to Deel - we are grateful to have you!

Pros

- Fully remote - Mostly nice and talented people, you can learn a bunch and the atmosphere is good in the beginning - Once you realize you're not ever getting a raise you can get by doing bare minimum - You can write the ceo on slack and he will respond, which is actually insane considering its such a huge company

Cons

- Everyone is underpaid, even the senior directors. They present employee equity as extra compensation, but make it very difficult to sell shares at secondaries. - Raise/promotion policies are set up in a way where most ppl will never get it. I've seen superstar employees get 2% annual raise. The rest got 1%. - Pay is localized, so you can do the same exact job but get pay half of the compensation if you're not based in the US. - It's either employee contract for less money, and you have some employee rights given to you by your country, or more money but you're getting misclassified on a b2b contract and using vaction days when you get sick. The actual work requirements and responsibilities are the same in both cases. - If you're not drinking the koolaid you better fall in line and keep any opinions challenging the status quo to yourself - Manager can get pretty manipulative, they'll say anything to appease you, but will not act in your interest unless it aligns with their internal politics play
