Honest Review - Anonymous employee Deel Employee Review

“Deel Speed” Deel is very VERY focused on growing the revenue faster than any company has ever done in the past. While yay- that’s good and everyone wants the company to succeed, “Deel Speed” is just not a scalable solution. Leadership has such crazy blinders on to the point that their solution for any problem is throw more people at the problem and tell them to work faster in their silos, then just just say that it’s been solved and move on to the next problem. For any company to be set up for continuous and stable growth, problems must be solved with strategy, collaboration, and time. The founders are the voices behind Deel’s solutioning method and echo it daily- “Deel Speed”. What really sucks about working here is that I know that the environment they’ve created is not scalable and not sustainable for the long term. The worst part is that there is no way anyone can convince the founders and leadership that their methods are flawed, as they are extremely stubborn and tell the world that they’re wrong and they’ll be the first ones to actually make this method work. I believe the only way they’ll learn is when Deel eventually gets driven out of the market by their competitors because Deel is still too busy being inefficient. Sure they may have the best in market product for the price, but a product doesn’t make a company. More leads does not equal long term revenue. They’ve grown too fast for their own good. To elaborate on the stubbornness of the culture, If leadership read my message, I guarantee they’d just say something like “well this person is just lazy/incompetent and not cut out for this job, they can’t handle a fast paced environment” and my response would be. “You are correct in that I cannot keep up with your unrealistic daily expectations and band-aid solution logic, nobody can - that’s why all your strategic people keep quitting. If you decided to take a step back, understand and learn from the problems you’re facing, and then prioritize and plan for strategic efforts to permanently fix these problems - then I could be of better service to you” Classic tale of the tortoise and the hare; except the hare is running so fast while only looking at the ground, then runs straight into a tree, and the tortoise just keeps on movin’ ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
