Pros

The product is very good, and the technical team is really strong. There are many options to withdraw your salary from Deel to other platforms.

Cons

Don't let the 4.6 rating on Glassdoor fool you; I fell into the same trap, thinking I joined a fast-growing startup with a great culture and great people to work with. The disappointment started right from the beginning when I learned there was 0 onboarding for me, just software setup and setup of the infrastructure. They assigned me to a big project that required a deep understanding of their entire codebase right on my first week without any buffer of time for me to learn how things work. I had the same deadlines as others on the team right from the start, even though I was a newcomer who needed some time to get used to the project and the codebase. We had daily status-update standups in the mornings that lasted at least an hour, and despite that, my manager would ask me for extra updates 2-3 hours after the daily calls and one more time in the evening. It was more than clear that they had no trust in their remote employees and micromanaged them to make sure they were always around their setup, which is a very toxic thing to do; never had such an experience. It was not a coincidence that during my 3 months at this company, I saw 4 people leaving the company (they were also new joiners, 4-5 months at most), which makes me believe they have a very high turnover rate (also by reading the Glassdoor comments). The pressure of deadlines was crazy. Any other project/task/bug was the most critical emergency to be taken care of. Managers talk to you with a very negative and controlling manner, and I have seen some of the upper managers too talking the same way to lower ones, so I believe this is just the way it is at this company, everyone pushes the negativity down through the pyramid. Lastly, they ask you to give them a 5-star review on Glassdoor as soon as you join, and they really pay attention to their ratings here to keep them high. So don't fall for that trap, and good luck

Pros

-fast growth -opportunity -remote -flexible

Cons

with the pace of growth, there always is the possibility of growing pains. you can become a part of that as through restructuring, people leaving, etc. i don't want to go too into detail but things turned sour for something that was 100% out of my control where my role was completely diminished overnight. zero communication.
