Pros

The company is 100% remote and does it great. The best hardware is given, Slack and online tools by default, you can work form anywhere. Also, the team is recruited from everywhere, I work with London, Kyiv, Ankara, and more but also America, Africa, and Australia. You make your agenda of the day, so you must be autonomous to avoid working less or working more. The problem is often to work more because time flies and there are so many things to work on.

Cons

Don't expect to have much social contact, if you are okay with it then it's good. Don't expect to speak in your language, if you are fine with it then it's good. Don't expect to work few hours, but if you like your job, then Deel gives you all what you need to do your work. Ask yourself if you are: a working person, an autonomous one, and like to work with international people. If yes to all three, apply. If no to one, skip.

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
