1. Deel isn't your match if you are used to or looking for a relaxed and slow-paced work environment. This doesn't mean that everyone overworks, but it requires designers to deliver at a decent pace, adapt constantly, and be proactive about product decisions. I was directly informed about this during the interviews, so it totally matched my expectations since it also meant delivering fast.

Onboarding may be rough: In some departments, domain knowledge is massive, and making decisions quickly and correctly requires learning many mechanisms related to compliance, legal, and HRX mechanisms in the product.
