Interviewer was like a robot with no emotions whatsoever. Automatically made me uninterested in the company along with the conversations I had with CSMs currently working at Deel describing it as “toxic” and a lot of other things. If you want people to work at your company, focus on making the ones there being happy and hiring recruiters that know how to talk to people.
I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Deel in June 2026
Interview
The recruiter was nice and friendly. There are 5 rounds which felt a little bit too much in my opinion. In one of my rounds the hiring manager never showed up to our scheduled interview, HUGE RED FLAG! I was rescheduled with the same person and the moment the interview began I could feel she was stand-offish with me as if it was my fault for her no showing me. I could tell she did not care to interview me AT ALL! Then I get rejected for the position I didn’t even apply for. I was rejected for a Customer Operations Manager role but I applied for a Customer Success Manager role, another RED FLAG! If they are this disorganized during an interview process I cannot begin to imagine the chaos that is within the company. Good riddance, everything happens for a reason. Lost interest in them any ways.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Tell us about you?
What did you do to avoid a churn customer?
Both the recruiter and hiring manager showed up late to the interviews. The recruiter did give great insight to compensation. The hiring manager asked behavioral questions to ensure candidates can be successful in the role. Great company insight even in the early stages of interviewing.
