Pros

- Experience what it feels to be abused and treated as a number - Appreciate your next job at a competition company much more -Being able to quit without notice

Cons

-The company is toxic due to the leadership being incompetent and having no real leadership skill -Friend politics; people that have been here for a long time will recommend their friends which in turn leads to an endless cycle of useless people being hired and promoted -Most things are automised so you cant complain because the system made the decision to your inquiry and any interpersonal solution to your problem is not possible

Working from anywhere is what we do so it's nice to hear that was working well. I am disappointed to hear that you felt politics and leadership were sub par. At the other end of everything we do is a human - onboarding into a new role, offboarding and transitioning to a new opportunity, receiving pay, looking to access their work history and documents, and so on. We take our service of the people at the other end of our services very seriously. There is no intention to be political - merely an intention to advocate for people. Regarding the perception that we "fire people very easily" - I disagree. Just as we take the work we do seriously for our end users, we take our responsibility to our people at Deel very seriously. Its never an easy decision to let someone go - whether it be for performance (which we do have a culture of high performance), inability to work autonomously or in a fully distributed work environment, inability to scale and grow, lack of caring for the customer, failure to achieve quota or targets, etc. We strive to treat people with respect no matter what the situation, even on departure.

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.
