      Pros

      - Great co-workers on my specific client-facing team. - Remote work.

      Cons

      - This is a highly toxic culture. One of the values is "Genuine Care" and upper leadership doesn't even display this. Upper leadership is harsh, overly demanding despite our large workload as it is, condescending, and micromanaging. They publicly shame Deel employees and say "we foster open communication and feedback". Good and Great leaders can foster open communication and provide feedback, but in a much more positive way. - Workload is outrageous. It really is unsustainable and exhausting. I understand this is a startup up, but there should also be a line. Upper leadership voice how they love Deel and money over their family. That is so toxic and unhealthy. Deel also is unwilling to hire great talent and compensate appropriately, which leads to turnover and then the work gets pushed onto existing employees. - Lack of diversity and inclusion in upper leadership.

      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
