Pros

You can work remotely from anywhere.

Cons

If you are a driven salesperson that wants to progress in their career I would generally avoid. If you are a Junior sales person looking to learn you won't receive hands on training to become good at sales, if you are an experienced salesperson you will be frustrated at the career path here as it is very strange. There wasn't a single month in my time here where there weren't changes made to our metrics and qualifying criteria to make life more difficult. When you are joining as an SDR you are told about the possibilities of becoming an AE, when you join the organisation and you're made aware of the career path it becomes clear that you need a minimum of 12 months in your role, before being moved into a different SDR department where again you need a minimum of 12 months. Not to mention that these time based promotions are often delayed due to "headcount" so in many cases "on paper" you are looking at a minimum of 2.5-3 years to be eligible for an AE promotion. The reality however is the UK team barely promote from within, whenever an AE position becomes available they recruit externally. Barely any of the UK AEs were SDRs at Deel so you quickly realise that there is no real room for progression here, which is evident in their staff turnover. The way the career path is set out here is the most nonsensical approach I have personally seen in my career. I met some good people here and made some friends, the sales function has grown out of their control though and they really don't know what they're doing.

Pros

The good co-workers are great and the benefits are good.

Cons

The positive reviews are fake — likely written by would-be LinkedIn influencers at Deel. The product barely works, and internal processes are broken and/or other departments are overstretched, leading to constant escalations for which you’ll be fully blamed regardless, and expected to work beyond standard hours to resolve. You can be a top performer, but if you get on the wrong side of Head/C-level leadership — which is easy to do — don’t expect any fairness. Senior leadership will do almost anything in pursuit of an IPO: a so-called “world-record hiring event” PR stunt that was misleading, paying clients for testimonials, alleged corporate espionage, and more. If you’re not on board with that, you’ll be told you’re not cut out for the role, and even that you’ll never be successful without Deel. If you’re genuinely curious about what it’s like to work there, ask any former Deel employee how they felt after leaving. Run. Trust me.
