Pros

The hiring process was exceptional from start to finish — clear, smooth, and very respectful of my time. The team is genuinely collaborative and welcoming, which made joining as a new hire feel easy and comfortable. Solid technical infrastructure that helps you be productive quickly. Good, well-organized documentation that really supports onboarding and day-to-day work.

Cons

Still early days for me, so I haven’t come across any real downsides yet.

Pros

Joining Deel has been a dream come true. As a Software Engineer, the culture here is exactly what "modern work" should look like: Async-First Culture: The "Slack is the office" mentality is real. The company actively encourages reducing meetings in favor of asynchronous communication, which is a game-changer for maintaining deep focus and productivity. Cutting-Edge AI Integration: Deel isn’t just talking about the AI revolution; they are leading it. They provide free training and paid access to state-of-the-art tools like Cursor, JetBrains, Co-pilot and many more. It’s incredibly empowering to work for a company that invests in your efficiency. Global Diversity: I work with brilliant colleagues from over 150 countries. It’s a truly global environment that feels inclusive and high-energy. Top-Tier Perks: Beyond the flexibility, the perks are fantastic, ranging from travel benefits to paid dinners and flexible time off. You truly feel valued and "blessed" to be part of the team.

Cons

I honestly don't have any major negatives. The pace is fast and there is a lot to learn, but that is expected when you're working at a company that is scaling this quickly and leading its industry.

Pros

They provide remote working environment which was the only reason i stayed.

Cons

They demand you work for more than 10 hrs a day also the work is not technical. Most of the work is to clean, fix code that that is a patch work done by there CTO and other early folks. Founder are toxic and want everything done in a day, they themselves are responsible for breaking things in the first place. They behave like a startup when they want things to be done, but during hike they behave like MNC 1-5% hike if at all given. 10% max on promotion which is only give to people who die for them. For the last 1 year only 5-10% people in company got even this. That's from a workforce of 6k-7k people. There on-call schedule never ends sometime whole team is on-call fixing things and then the management also wants you to finish your usual work on time. There stock options is also not great they want you to pay almost 80% of the current stock price it does not even make sense.
