Low risk, high reward

Recommend

Pros

Deel Speed growth is unmatched anywhere in the world. Company has large vision, great execution, and customer retention is great for a reason. Not perfect, but the pros outweigh the cons in a big way. Deel is only going up from here so remembering Deel is no longer a "startup" and is low risk, yet the future and reward is still very high. Grass is greener here than all of my last companies. Issues are everywhere. Deel's awesome.

Cons

I don't know if HR communicates things ahead of making changes, but doesn't seem so. It can feel like there are more People/HR changes after the fact verses getting a heads up. It causes issues and culture lows, but not the worst. Communication in general is "effective immediately" rather than "in a month heres what you can expect". So it can be a damper on the mood and incredibly difficult to plan around. Expectations are set in stone until they're changed and it's too late to reset expectations.

Thank you for your thoughtful review and for being a part of sales leadership at Deel. We appreciate your vision of the bigger picture and how although Deel (as other startups) is going through some challenges as we grow, we truly value our team members and customer and we are doing as best we can as we scale. We appreciate your point on proactive communication. Sometimes speed can get in the way of this, but we will continue to work on more proactive communication.

Pros

They really do hire great people, so I walked out with a lot of great friends that I’ll have for a lifetime.

Cons

Literally everything. Nothing positive about this place. The culture is beyond toxic, they play favorites with their account executives. This is the only sales organization that I’ve been a part of that doesn’t evenly distribute leads among their reps. It is not a fair round robin of inbound leads; instead, they give their top reps 20 inbounds a week and their least favorite reps 5 inbounds a week. The managers don’t know what they’re doing. They have no experience being managers, or they have experience being managers and don’t know the Deel product well at all so they’re actually the least helpful people ever and don’t even help you develop your sales acumen. The management here lies and denies every concern that is ever brought to their attention and couldn’t care less about their employees. They mass hire and mass fire people with no regard for how it affects their employees’ lives. They also keep bringing on new products to sell with no training on how to sell them and they just throw you into the deep end and expect you to succeed somehow. Everyone’s mental health here is absolutely deteriorating, and the only reason any reps are still there is because they are willing to sacrifice their mental health so their options can vest. Upper management is beyond toxic here - they pretend like they care and like they’re listening, but they don’t care about you and fired so many people last year with no warning and no PIP. Absolutely awful toxic culture. Avoid this place at all costs.

The Sales team has heard the feedback on lead distribution and have continued to communicate expectations in all roles across sales. Regarding managers, we have a variety of experience levels in sales management specifically - from highly experienced to new in role and promoted internally. For 2023 we announced and have been committed to up-skilling and training our managers to operate more effectively at this scale. Deel is one of the hardest manager jobs there is due to our complexity of product, internal organization, communication requirements, and being fully remote so even for more experienced managers its a challenge. We can do more and more here to support. Regarding new products and product enhancements and changes, yes, this will continue to be the case as we grow, iterate, and scale. We hear you that we can do better in enabling sales in this effort.

The pay could be a bit better.
