Pros

* Work from basically anywhere + there is an immigration benefit if you want to permanently move to somewhere. * Deel speed, I have been in this company for almost 4 years and I really have never seen a company grow so fast before. From about 80 employees to over 3000 and still growing! * Mac pro MAX for all engineers. * Traveling, secret santa, deel dinner perks * Work and connect with people from many different countries. A truly connected international work force.

Cons

* Working from home makes it difficult to keep boundaries between working hours and personal time which can lead to overtime.

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
