Save your sanity. The onboarding team, as well as probably all other teams are completely overstretched and overwhelmed. Everyone is too busy to help you and everything is a last minute escalation. You are expected to work after hours, I've been doing 60 hour weeks, working 12 hours per day since I started and I'm still struggling to get on top of my workload. My personal life is suffering because of my job. I am 3 months in and I feel burnt out. Management does not help, they just expect you to work or find a way to solve your issues.
Forget any progression pathway to promotion at Deel. Management seems too busy to care about anyone's wellbeing in this company. The stress has reduced people to tears, and I know this because others have told me. It's a toxic workplace. The platform is clunky and constantly breaks. I find it extremely hard to navigate, payment process is a mess. Invoices are an absolute mess and nothing is clear. The AI tools and resources are so numerous, that you spend a ton of time reading a million articles to try and find a solution, leading to lots of time spent reading and even more subsequently catching up on work. Onboarding for me was 2 weeks where in the third week I was assigned a massive client project which I had no idea where to start on. It's extremely stressful and counter productive. You are basically alone with huge responsibility. Most people are unavailable or don't know how to help. Not to mention internal support is bad; you raise a Jira ticket and it just gets shut down with one sentence answers, zero help. It's like the teams are not united to work towards a good client experience.
Zero benefits, zero wellbeing initiatives, zero training, you will sink in an ocean of Deel mess
