Pros

Deel is considered one of the best companies in its industry. The company has received several accolades and awards, such as being named one of the "Hottest Startups of 2021" by Forbes, and being recognised as one of the "Fastest Growing Companies" by Inc. Magazine. Since Deel is a fully remote company, which means that I can work from anywhere in the world. This provided me with the opportunity to travel and experience different cultures while still working for the company. It's been a year at Deel and guess what !! I receive a personal message from the CEO and I was like this is unreal, however this shows that your hard work and dedication to the company have been noticed and appreciated. It also reflects the company's culture of recognizing and celebrating its employees' achievements, which can be a motivating factor for employees to continue to perform at their best.

Cons

Pros

Supportive management, clear expectations, good money, work from home culture is dialed in

Cons

Deel Speed is real. Not for everyone, but as I said, expectations are reasonable and compensation is appropriate so I don't see it as a con per se.

Pros

- Fully remote - Mostly nice and talented people, you can learn a bunch and the atmosphere is good in the beginning - Once you realize you're not ever getting a raise you can get by doing bare minimum - You can write the ceo on slack and he will respond, which is actually insane considering its such a huge company

Cons

- Everyone is underpaid, even the senior directors. They present employee equity as extra compensation, but make it very difficult to sell shares at secondaries. - Raise/promotion policies are set up in a way where most ppl will never get it. I've seen superstar employees get 2% annual raise. The rest got 1%. - Pay is localized, so you can do the same exact job but get pay half of the compensation if you're not based in the US. - It's either employee contract for less money, and you have some employee rights given to you by your country, or more money but you're getting misclassified on a b2b contract and using vaction days when you get sick. The actual work requirements and responsibilities are the same in both cases. - If you're not drinking the koolaid you better fall in line and keep any opinions challenging the status quo to yourself - Manager can get pretty manipulative, they'll say anything to appease you, but will not act in your interest unless it aligns with their internal politics play
