Pros
I felt an energy than I never felt before working at a company, people seem excited and you feel part of something bigger. You can have an impact. Things happen fast. Good tech stack.
Cons
Company overall is amazing the way they treat their costumers, this is why they crushed competitors, however, they way they treat employees still has a long way to go. You will most likely be a contractor, without health insurance, etc. This will attract the digital nomad crowd, but you are excluding a huge chunk of high performing individuals who have families, and NEED job security. Please, make the possibility of everyone in most countries TO HAVE a job contract, in Europe this is the minimum + Health Insurance. Not everyone is a Birkenstock country hopper. Deel salaries are below market average, and that's just the truth, and even if you excel and burn yourself out working you'd be lucky if you get like a 4% raise (per year...). So, if you want to join, please negotiate very well because you'll have that forever. How do you think you can retain top talent with these poor employee benefits? Unfortunately remote flexibility is not everything, and a 100$ per month in flex benefit doesn't solve it. You end up working more then 8 hours a day, because Slack never stops, so set limits right away. No team trips, people start to feel disconnected from each other, always an excuse to delay this. Very american mindset, if you are good they will almost certainly give you opportunities, however the company now is different from what it what a few years ago, less flat in terms of structure. Be prepared to work a lot to stand out, and pray your manager supports you. It goes the opposite way as well, underperformers can be let go very quickly...without a proper PIP being implemented. Mental health support, I've seen many people burn themselves out here, so you have to take care of yourself. Deel could have a mental health program here (mental health apps are not enough).
