I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Deel
Interview
The first red flag I experienced was that the recruiter was late to two of our scheduled calls, without any prior notice. Then, right off the bat the hiring manager, let me know that outside of my 40hrs/week, I would need to be available to take evening calls and send emails on weekends. He told me there would be a very limited work life balance and that I needed to be prepared to take minimal breaks during the day because work is so overwhelming. Although that was a huge second red flag, I continued through the interview process because I had heard such good things about the company. When it came time to make an offer, however I was offered $50,000! I told the recruiter that was 30 grand less than I had been making and she even told me she had to double check what state I was in to make sure that it was more than minimum wage! I can’t fathom being expected to work seven days a week for pennies.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
How would you respond to an angry customer about something we are unable to fix?
4 interviews, all booked back to back, they want to hire at Deel Speed. However the people lie heavily about what to expect.
The recruiter also pushes back on salary being negotiable and once you tell them you got retained then they do want to negotiate.
I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Deel in Jun 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.

Question 1
Tell us about you?
What did you do to avoid a churn customer?
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.
