Pros

Company is growing a lot but unfortunately at all costs

Cons

The problem with Deel starts and end with leadership. Deel is a cutthroat culture. Growth at all costs, unrealistic targets for teams without any support of achieving them and if you fail short, off with their head. Leadership is reminiscing of a petulant child not getting what they want and throwing a tantrum about it. Only this time, the kid has real power and can create chaos. There is 0 feedback in Deel, as much as leadership says they want feedback. In the recent employee feedback survey, most people I spoke to held back because a) they know nothing will done about the toxic behaviors of leaders and b) they know there will be retaliation against them even if they it's anonymous. (it is not). Experience and diversity of opinion is not valued in this company Rank the Glassdoor reviews by lowest rating and read through the reviews. They are all 100% true. Management only cares about, the facade. No substance, no empathy, just the show we put up for the rest of the world to see how successful and important we are. This is a house of cards built on the weakest and most toxic cultures I've ever seen and it will all come down crumbling when things get tough. Unrealistic targets for teams Public berating and harassment Retaliation when feedback is given Sloppy and broken processes No career development Communication all over the place Blame and point the finger culture No work life balance No empathy or human centric approach to management Firing people without support or any expectation setting An immature and toxic leadership team designed around some children with no experience The cherry on top is this: Everything is swept under the "Deel Speed" and "Deel is not for everyone carpet". It's HR lip service and a weak excuse for "We can't really change our toxic culture, this is who we are, take it or leave it". If you have a choice, leave it. Do not join this company if you want your sanity.

As someone who has read over 7,200 independent comments in our recent engagement survey I feel that even people with critical feedback or who are in the dissent on a decision or policy provided very well articulated constructive feedback respectfully. As a start up that went from 50 people and no internal HR and that needed to build foundations simply to take on the customers that continued to sign up for our services to 2000 people and hundreds of thousands of lives on our platform in 24 months we know that communication, change management, leadership development, manager training, etc must be built. 2022 was about building those foundations and we've made great strides. There is much more to do in 2023, but for those who prefer a highly tenured and experienced team even at leadership, want to only maintain rather than build, are not comfortable with the pace of growth and chance, and can't work at speed to solve problems for humans on the other end of the product then this is not for you. We won't stop saying it. We're up to the task of being a generational company so we'll see where we are in the next 12 months then the next and the next. Best to you though in your next endeavor which is hopefully a better fit.
