Pros

Highly recommended for individuals looking to accelerate their career in tech and start-ups. Similar to an Uber, Door-dash, AirBnB, etc. of recent years, the company is on a growth trajectory that will greatly benefit your CV and yield residual benefits for your career. Success at Deel screens for ability to move a high-speed, navigating ambiguity and maximizing your agency to id and solve problems. *Mission-based --customer obsessed and product focused. Your not going to have to deal with the company wading into social issues, the politics of the day, or unnecessarily injecting these topics into the workplace. The workforce is incredibly global from various backgrounds, cultures, experiences, and skill sets, all brought together in support of the shared core mission vs. being involved in tangential side-quests for this or that social issue. (If you have worked in other companies long enough you know that this is not a given and is a meaningful alternative).

Cons

Cons/Insights (not necessarily good or bad) * With high-growth comes high-challenges. Things move fast, things break, new problems and priorities compete with those already in-flight and your going to need to figure out how to keep it all moving. If your looking for a steady, predictable job, this likely not going to be the fit. * Decision making can be somewhat diffuse across the company due to the hyper-growth and complexity of all the markets/ time-zones, products, and services. There is a learning curve on how to best get the work done and influence. Likewise managing change and communication across silos and teams can be a challenge, but Deel Speed and bias for action helps offset. * High-performance culture. You are hired to drive impact and results. This a great pro for the right person who is motived by working with driven people and taking direct accountability for adding value every day in their role. Not place to come to if your looking to "rest and vest" or struggle under the pressure to perform.

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
