Pros

I've been at Deel for a year now, and it's been an amazing journey. The start-up vibe here fits me perfectly. Every day brings new challenges, which keeps things exciting and helps me learn constantly. My team is fantastic. They've been incredibly supportive, and working with them has made my job a lot more enjoyable. Another great aspect is the chance to connect with people from all over the world. It’s been such a rewarding experience to broaden my network and gain different perspectives. The travel perks and access to various co-working spaces are a huge plus. I love being able to change up my work environment whenever I need a fresh perspective. I'm really happy here and look forward to many more years at Deel!

Cons

High-Paced Environment: The fast-paced nature can be overwhelming at times. Example: Juggling 2-3 projects with tight deadlines can lead to long working hours. Work-Life Balance: Balancing work and personal life can be challenging due to the demanding workload. Example: It's not uncommon to find yourself working late into the evening or on weekends to meet targets.

Pros

Supportive management, clear expectations, good money, work from home culture is dialed in

Cons

Deel Speed is real. Not for everyone, but as I said, expectations are reasonable and compensation is appropriate so I don't see it as a con per se.

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
