Pros

Working at Deel has provided me with incredible opportunities to learn and grow. Leadership is ALWAYS open to new ideas big and small, and enable you to do your best. Despite the large headcount, it still feels like a start up where your initiatives matter and there is little to no red tape when getting things done. Despite it being a fully remote workforce, there are usually Deel employees in your city, and the company facilitates dinners, events, etc. so that you can get together and meet your coworkers. Above all else, the work is rewarding. I am someone who firmly believes that the future of work is remote, and has seen success from remote work in my own career/personal life. Its great to know that we help both organizations find great talent globally, as well as help those all over the globe find great jobs.

Cons

Deel expects nothing but the best from you every day, and things can get very busy at times. This is not a place to take your foot off the gas and that doesn't always bode well with some people.

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
