Pros

- Fully remote - Paid.. okay. But there are better options out in the market - That's it.

Cons

I don't need to share much. Just read the other 1-star comments, all of them are at least 90% true (with probably 10% personal grudges in it, but fair). I'm here to try to bring the avg score down because I don't want to see another post on LinkedIn saying that Deel is the dream remote workplace and get more innocent souls to join in > get anxiety > left the company with severe depression. (Most of us went through that, not just CSR, not just Leader, not just manager, even Heads.)

Great management and nice people in the company.

Cons

no cons really but if I have to say one thing, it would be 401K can be higher to match.

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
