I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Deel (San Francisco, CA) in Jan 2023
Interview
Deel reached out to me on LinkedIn and asked if I was interested in a particular role at the company. The job description for the role was shared with me. I said that I was interested and I prepared for the interview. In the middle of the interview I was told that I was not being considered for the role we initially discussed but for another role (that paid a lot less). This caught me totally off guard. I never saw the job description for the other role, and I still don't know exactly what it entailed. I had no opportunity to prepare for a discussion about this lower-paid position — and I’m not sure I would have wanted it. On top of that, the initial role was advertised as a permanent, full-time position but I was asked if I would consider contract work. There was nothing in the job description about freelance work. I’m glad Deel didn’t offer me a job. If this is how this company treats candidates, I can only imagine what working for these people would be like.

I applied through an employee referral. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Deel in Jan 2023
Interview
I received the test to do at home, the requisites aren't unclear and they evaluate you on topics that aren't at the requisites. So if you do exactly what they ask, you will not be selected. You need to read between the lines and guess what they need from you.
I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Deel (Montego Bay) in Jan 2023
Interview
The interviews were very relaxed and engaging. I didn't feel interrogated as many of them can make you feel, but rather like I was having a genuine conversation. The people are great and I know I'll be in a safe and development-oriented culture. I can't wait to start!
