Pros

Deel offers a ton of learning opportunities and room for growth. Working with a team spread across the world provides incredible exposure, and every day presents a new challenge for those who thrive on innovation. No two days are the same at Deel, and that’s what keeps me passionate about my work. If you love working on fresh challenges and learning something new every day, Deel is the perfect place to be.

Cons

No cons as of now, but be prepared—Deel is not for those looking to relax or take things slow. The speed here is real, and you need to keep up. You have to move fast and build things that last. Cross-team collaborations can be challenging if you're not quick to adapt or learn on the go.

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
