Had potential but fell way short

Pros

- Competitive salary - A cool way of getting your work laptop and other supplies using Hofy - A nice online learning platform with good on-boarding information

Cons

- Very little transparency in decision making - Very hierarchy driven where subordinates are expected to obey without offering input - Often felt like a tool being used instead of a creative part of a team - Technically very disorganised and not interested in giving capacity to improving legacy systems or methodologies - Little to no team events (virtual or remote) - Generally not a very kind and motivating culture - focused more on status than collaboration

We’re sorry to hear this; we really appreciate your transparent feedback on the competitive salary, innovative supply procurement, and effective onboarding platform. We are still in a startup growth mode, building what we hope to be a remarkable team experience in the near future. It’s feedback like this that helps us improve. We value and appreciate our team members and are committed to creating a great culture and environment for all. We have taken action items from your comments on the lack of transparency, hierarchical structure and insufficient team events, and will bring this back to our leadership and people teams.

Pros

I joined Deel as an Account Executive in 2022 and I've never looked back. Most of my time is dedicated to assisting founders and c-suite executives in navigating the immigration process across 30+ countries and continents. These conversations not only stimulate me intellectually but also enable me to build close relationships with prominent figures at renowned companies and pioneers in cutting-edge technologies like AI. From the perspective of an Account Executive, this role has been the most financially rewarding I've ever had. It's no surprise that the majority of my leads come to me: Deel stands as the industry leader, serving clients ranging from burgeoning startups to household names in various sectors, including BBC, Nike, and Reddit. We fulfill a crucial need for both companies and individuals, delivering exceptional value by "bringing people to work." Companies rely on us for seamless operations, and their employees depend on us for timely payments. I appreciate that Deel employees use the same portal and processes as our customers, providing us with firsthand insights into what works and how we can continue to make improvements. Deel Speed isn't just a catchphrase; it's a reality. It's not about rushing and causing disruptions; it's about working with a sense of urgency and swiftly finding solutions when challenges arise. Every team at Deel is composed of the brightest, most talented individuals I've ever had the pleasure of working with, spanning 3000+ employees across 100+ countries. There's a consistent spirit of collaboration across all communication channels. Even our CEO, Alex, is just a DM away when you need assistance. (You'll also find him and other executives like the CRO Shuo and COO Dan actively engaged in Slack discussions, sleeves rolled up and ready to contribute.) As a result, you can rest assured that your feedback will be heard and that you have the opportunity to make a tangible impact on Deel and its 20,000+ customers. Oh another pro? Equity in a $12B unicorn that’s been profitable for over a year. ;)

Cons

At Deel, we're a team of doers, not bystanders. We're the ones who make things happen, who turn the gears, and who refuse to be held back by anything. We embody the words of Snowflake CEO Frank Slootman: "Make your days, other people's weeks. Make your weeks, other people's months. Make your months, other people's years." Deel is for drivers, not passengers.
