Pros

I guess you might like it if you have no life outside of work and you're comfortable with unstructured chaos

Cons

Deel's company culture is a textbook example of how not to run a business. The alarming turnover rate, especially among contractors, screams dysfunction at its finest. The management doesn't just micromanage; they suffocate with their overbearing presence. The CEO, while perhaps ambitious, often behaves more like a petulant child than a leader. Public channels like Slack are riddled with cringe-worthy displays of unprofessionalism from the so-called leaders. And for a company that touts its remote capabilities, the glaring absence of clear remote work guidelines is laughable. Deel's fixation on competitors borders on a schoolyard obsession, and their approach is less strategic and more hysterical. The "competitive analysis" on the company's Notion page, complete with recordings of sales reps from other platforms, is downright tacky. Rumors about Deel's questionable business practices are rife, and their default mode seems to be denial and deflection. Frankly, Deel seems more interested in pointing fingers than in fixing their glaring issues. They're a masterclass in corporate chaos.

Whilst some of us at Deel have worked in much larger organizations and other hyper growth start ups, I disagree that we have any kind of abnormal or egregious corporate chaos. We are in hyper growth mode and thankful to be in this era specifically during this time in the global economy whereby we have sat by and watched other companies lay off team members, reduce compensation and benefits and perks, stop hiring, take down rounds in valuation and funding, etc. As with other start up businesses, and our competitors included, we have turnover as a result predominantly of poor quality of hire and we must and will do better in training recruiters and managers. We continue to invest in coaching our leaders to scale themselves as leaders of an almost 3,000 person global company with month over month revenue and headcount growth. Specifically, communication, leadership principles, presentation, high performance culture are top of mind. And as for competitive analysis, we have been reactive to our competitors tactics, but are moving to change that and control our own narrative. Thanks for this view.

Pros

Remote set up, good salary

Cons

The managers have no clue, the environment is absolutely toxic, and although is a remote set up you end up working 12 hours per day without moving from your desk since you need to be available on slack at all time
