Deel reviews

Sales org run by a smart but ultra unexperienced CRO, who never attends meetings nor shows any signs of leadership. Underpays EMEA reps in all aspects it just sucks to know how better the terms are for N.American sales teams compared to ROW. Recent changes to comp plans will make many people leave.

love deel..but there are only 2 downsides working in sales for Deel but they are the reason people won't stay long and I'm pretty sure management knows about it but don't think they even will try to improve it no matter what kind of comment they reply to this review. - Quota. The highest quota by far in any company I've worked for by a mile. Not saying its unachievable...but hitting your target is expected of you and not just a way of motivating employees. It's the only way to achieve any type of recognition since at the end of the day all the sales people are just a number to management about who's performing and who's not because of the remote environment. To hit those kind of numbers without the quota ever being adjusted according to market conditions, timing, or region is absurd. You have to work extremely hard to hit that and if you don't its a bad look and you don't make any money since it's a 60/40 split in compensation. And if you do hit the target and make commision it still leads me to my next "negative" about Deel. - COMPENSATION. I'm sorry but the company is extremely successful and drowning in revenue and investment funds. A lot of that has to do with the hard working sales team and it is just a fact that Deel pays its sales reps below market value. Even for the people in the poorer countries with a worse currency. I don't understand why they do that...why can't they just pay a normal salary considering how successful they are...they obviously can afford it and that 500-1000 dollars a month below average salary is huge for people trying to make a living and it affects their well being trying to make ends meet. It's apparent upper management have made millions off of Deel so far and yet when an employee asks for a small raise they come and say that they can't because theres a "fiduciary duty" they have with investors and needing to put their interests first. That kind of approach can give a vibe to people that the main objective for Deel is to make as much money off the hard working backs of their sales teams, grow the company exponentially (as they did) and eventually sell it or go IPO and make billions. Which is ok but at least be transparent about it and combat that with lower expectations for sales reps so they have a better feeling about staying for the long run :)
