Pros

Smart and humble team who likes to make things happen, FAST. Deel is the fastest-growing company on the planet for a good reason, the decision-making is fast, the prioritization is rigorous, and the ambition of the team is unrivalled. I've been a part of two unicorns previously and feel very fortunate to be here.

Cons

Fast growth always comes with some growing pains

Agree with the growing pains that come with fast growth. Luckily we had 93% of our people participate in our engagement survey recently and an 87% engagement rate. The thousands of comments we received showed our connected people are with our mission and the impact they are having daily on our customers, but they also provided excellent feedback on the pain that comes with growth at this pace and scale. We're thankful for that feedback and will be taking direct action on communication, leadership development, and change management to name a few.

Pros

Remote. Some of the people.

Cons

Complete lack of communication. Senior Management exists in a fantasy land, and doesn't listen to anyone. Everyone is expendable. Everyone. Staff pushed out the back door and made to sign NDA to avoid bad press. Constant complaints from customers. Ignored or swept under a rug. Acquisitions and *new* products, but not structure, plan, focus, or direction. Exists solely for co-founders to pretend they're successful and/or accomplished.

As you indicate you are a current team member in a management role I would ask that you perform the role of a manager at Deel and surface feedback (positive and constructive) quickly and transparently. Glassdoor is helpful to see feedback, but we depend upon the transparent and specific feedback in the moment when moving at our speed to communicate better, connect the dots, tackle problems, and move forward. Glassdoor is not a communication tool for managers to use to make an impact. We need the internal communication. Fantasy lands are for fairy tales and we are certainly not living in one. We operate in a highly complex, nuanced, and competitive environment where people are impacted by the work we do, not just companies. We take that mission seriously and our Support teams are best in class working to answer questions, guide feedback, and provide help. As a manager, you might know that we have many slack bots and other notification tools in place so we know every review, every piece of feedback, every complaint, every communication with customers to ensure we are quick, accurate, and helpful in our support of them - our ultimate priority. We hear you on the acquisitions - growing 4,002% in headcount since 2021 and acquiring companies in this market environment lends itself to needing to scale quickly and we can do better with our acquisitions 100% to ensure their customers, their people, and their product are assimilated more quickly into Deel where it makes sense. We hope to hear from you internally soon so we can deeper dive on the issues you are experiencing.

Pros

So unique - you wont find a company like Deel. Its the fastest growing startup in history for a reason. Smart team, challenging goals. Working remotely is the best.

Cons

Working remotely is amazing but it doesn't suit everyone. No office vibe.

Could not agree more that remote work is not suitable or desirable for all. For anyone considering an opportunity at a fully remote, global company they should consider their self-motivation, resilience, ability to work alone from home, self discipline for working in a 24/7 global environment where a team member or customer is always awake and working, ability to manage their own schedule and set boundaries, curiosity, desire to seek out answers, comfort using communication tools like Slack or video. Really consider the environment and where you believe you could be a best fit and how you like to work.
