Pros

You get to work with highly skilled and motivated people

Cons

Deel fosters an extremely toxic environment where daily practices include insulting, naming, and shaming individuals. Employees suffer from burnouts due to being treated merely as resources rather than valued human beings. The emphasis on quantity of work over quality adds to the strain. The leadership at Deel is inexperienced and lacks the ability to effectively guide the team. They seem to believe that imposing their opinions forcefully is the appropriate approach. The benefits promised, such as "unlimited" PTO, are misleading, as obtaining approval from upper management is a daunting task. The idea of "work from anywhere" lacks flexibility

Pros

- Product is great - Big and exciting changes coming for the company and remote work

Cons

- Leadership who shouldn't be in leadership - No continuous training or guidance on cold calls, emails, anything... - Quantity over quality type of sales org - They hand out PIP's without a heads up and after the month is already started - Unable to go to leadership if you have a concern about anything (well you are, but you'll be punished for it) - Fully remote company... 15min 1:1's once a week, and team meetings are bi-weekly... 2 TIMES A MONTH

For our Sales Development Representative roles, which this review seems to strongly reference, we do need better enablement that is ongoing. We have identified this as a key priority for 2023 and thank you for this feedback. For performance reviews and performance improvement plans, yes we have expectations for people to perform and be successful in their role and when they are not we identify if the person has the skills and experience but simply needs more direction or time to ramp, which could result in a plan for performance improvement, or decide if the skills are not there and its not a great fit for either side. Regarding leadership, we do need to continue developing leaders and we will. Regarding Wolf of Wall Street, if you've seen the movie and worked at Deel I don't think there is a close comparison, but it was a good movie and we will continue to ask that SDRs bring in sales qualified leads as that is part of the job.
