Working from anywhere is what we do so it's nice to hear that was working well. I am disappointed to hear that you felt politics and leadership were sub par. At the other end of everything we do is a human - onboarding into a new role, offboarding and transitioning to a new opportunity, receiving pay, looking to access their work history and documents, and so on. We take our service of the people at the other end of our services very seriously. There is no intention to be political - merely an intention to advocate for people. Regarding the perception that we "fire people very easily" - I disagree. Just as we take the work we do seriously for our end users, we take our responsibility to our people at Deel very seriously. Its never an easy decision to let someone go - whether it be for performance (which we do have a culture of high performance), inability to work autonomously or in a fully distributed work environment, inability to scale and grow, lack of caring for the customer, failure to achieve quota or targets, etc. We strive to treat people with respect no matter what the situation, even on departure.

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
