Pros

+ Free coffee, snacks, beer + Interesting office space + Cool brands and projects They have a very externally positive reputation - the work is impressive and award-winning. Easy to see why they are able to attract high-profile clients and smart, talented employees.

Cons

+ Leadership rules with fear and negativity + Leadership doesn't trust the rest of the staff - they micro-manage and re-do team members' work + Over-promise to clients frequently - leading to stress and long hours of mandatory overtime for employees + Make lofty promises during the interview to get you in - and then don't live up to them + HR sides with leadership - not the employees Behind closed doors, it's a very different experience than what you'd be led to believe from the outside. This is not the place to go if you are an independent, confident person who takes pride and ownership of your own work. The CEO is a very emotional leader and has a bad temper - no one is allowed to challenge him, including the rest of the leadership team. If you don't like it - leave, or you'll be forced out before long. Complaining to HR doesn't work either - they are complicit and defend this behavior. Don't be fooled by whatever you are promised in your interview - once you're in, you'll be miserable.

Pros

Some of the past reviews made me a bit hesitant when joining, but I've had nothing but positive experiences. Would definitely recommend working here, however I'm just a contractor and my experience might potentially be different if I were full-time.

Cons

Nothing outstanding in my experience.

Pros

Could add good experience to my resume, made good pay

Cons

My experience with this company was really disappointing. The office environment, especially among some of the women, was toxic and unwelcoming. One woman in particular seemed to create her own narrative and treated people based purely on personal preference. If she didn’t like you for whatever reason, she made it clear—and others followed her lead. They claim to be inclusive, but that wasn’t my experience. It felt like kindness and respect were only given to people they personally approved of. The atmosphere was cold, cliquey, and at times even aggressive, which left me—and others—feeling isolated and uncomfortable. Personal relationships and gossip played far too large a role in the day-to-day dynamics of Deeplocal. It was clear that favoritism and behind-the-scenes drama influenced how people were treated, and it created an environment where some coworkers struggled to focus or perform their jobs effectively. It was disappointing to see a workplace operate more like a high school than a professional setting, especially when so much potential was being overshadowed by unnecessary conflict and immaturity.
