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.

Pros

convenience of working from home but this comes at a hefty price

Cons

where to start... terrible top management that's publicly abusive on Slack. A lot of shortcuts and incompetence. The product had so many issues at the time that my time had to fill in manually the holes of the product. That meant that we needed to be available at all times. My Christmas holiday was denied so I had to work on Christmas day. My holidays were never approved. There was a layer of middle management that did nothing and micromanaged the hell out of us. Really terrible company that is weeding out bad comments so be careful.

Pros

A product that has some traction.

Cons

- Senior management is out of their depth, especially the founders. They're lucky the CEO has a father who has business experience. - Set stupid targets that cause the rest of the team to burn out. - The culture is the most toxic I've ever worked in. This stems from the top.
