      Pros

      Apple Equipment, $100 monthly allowance

      Cons

      There are N number of cons as to why this company shouldn't be joined. 1. Mental pressure is immense. It is 1000x here, you will loose your mind here coz you will be treated like a machine 2. No streamlined process. 3. They don't care about their employees or clients. Revenue is the only thing Deel cares about. 4. Variable pay is a scam here. It is used to lure candidates to join deel. In reality no one receives the variable pay as the targets sets by Deel is so high that no one can ever meet. In my team of 10-15 people, no one ever meets the targets to receive variable pay. Even if you give your 10X efforts, you will still only reach 60-70% of the variable pay. One must reach 100% targets to receive variable pay which ultimately feels like a scam to me. 5. No proper training, you will be required to churn out cases as soon as you join Deel 6. You will be lost and think as to why did you join this company. 7. Management does not listed to the Managers or even Directors in the company as all they are about is the revenue. 8. To keep your mouth shut, you will be paid $100 monthly in the name of monthly allowance 9. High attrition, people are leaving this company like anything because of the mental pressure.

      We welcome any and all feedback, and are thankful for the honest and constructive. You are not wrong. We understand the mental toll and understand we can do more for mental health and wellness. We are working on this for 2024. We do disagree that everything is about revenue and not the customer. To spend time with anyone at leadership at Deel is to feel the drive to deliver a truly global workforce changing product. Yes, we are a business and desire to increase revenue and drive business results for our shareholders (investors and team members), but not at any cost. We believe our product fundamentally changes the way CPOs, CFOs, and their teams can work more productively, efficiently, and compliantly and it takes a lot of energy, excitement, and care to deliver. But we also care about our value of conservative frugality which has allowed us to be profitable for a year (no layoffs, in this economic environment) whilst continuing to add 100 people per month and invest in our team and products and customers.

      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
