Pros

- Upper management is great and very approachable. - Each department is filled with incredibly talented individuals. - The team is truly international, bringing together diverse perspectives from around the world. - The company offers competitive salaries and has a remarkable ambition to grow, open new markets, and launch disruptive products. - The management style focuses on macro management, allowing hard-working and independent talents to thrive without unnecessary red tape.

Cons

- Processes and products change frequently; staying updated is a priority to avoid falling behind. - Remote work can feel isolating if you love to work in an office. But an all-access WeWork pass is provided so you can meet other Deelers in your region or around the word if you want to travel

Pros

As an Independent Contractor at Deel, pros are: 1. If the company paid early, you can withdraw early for a fee! 2. You can also get advances of your next payment for a fee too! 3. Also you get 1 hour of "Personal Development" that you will never be able to take because "Deel Speed". 4. You get a miserable $100 USD Health "Benefit" so you can either get the worst Health Insurance possible or gym membership, any other reason to use this benefit is not valid and will be declined, so no therapy for you for your Deel Speed stress build up. Also you got to pay out of pocket and then they'll reimburse you. 5. There is some growth, but only horizontally and if ever vertically the pay is incredibly low compared to peers or the market. Amazing, I know...

Cons

The management decisions might as well be made by somebody that doesn't know the company entirely, is like they go together to a restaurant and one of their friends from another company gets drunk and starts spitting ideas for Deel and management just thinks: "Omg, we should definitely try that!". Everything is rushed and unpolished when deployed, then they start complaining why the transparency and quality of the platform is highly questioned by users and proceed to point fingers at every poor soul that just did their job how they asked to follow through with these non-sense "Deel Speed" demands. Prepare to be available 25/8, with no exception to holidays or sick days, they couldn't care less, and if you don't reply, you'll be warned that your communication is lacking and you might get terminated for this. The company culture is null and all there is to it is "Deel Speed", which is nothing more than just unrealistic expectations for the time it would take anyone to do anything, once you're rushed to desperation, your results are never enough but they will publish them as oh well, they need their numbers and results which is all that matters to the micromanagers around the company. If you work abroad and outside: USA, CA, FR or the UK, forget about any company meetups, no effort to connect you with people from your same country so you might not be as isolated during remote work, and if you ever want to do this you must plan it on your own. Prepare to be an avid autodidact with the terrible knowledge base documents (they can't even keep it organized in one place there's like 3 places where it's stored and it never matches). Because, the training in this company is deplorable and non-existent in many areas. To the point where Customer Support "Specialists", Customer Success Managers and OBMs are constantly asking in Slack channels how truly basic features of the platform work after being on the job for more than a year, and act truly impressed when you explain these basic features to them. By the way they wont stop messaging you afterwards cause you just become a some sort of "Wizard of Wisdom" to them. Last but not least, if you didn't negotiate your salary greatly in your first interview, prepare to be paid the exact same amount, no matter how much you grow, they will perhaps bump your pay 100-200 USD if you push hard enough. At the end they'll make you reach "Deel Speed" terminal velocity, get their results and crash you against the wall by terminating you with no compensation.
