Deel has an incredible product. That *makes* your job as an SDR. Having conversations with people is insightful. It is truly possible to perform exceptionally well at Deel.
Deel really lives up to it's reputation of being a great sales org - leadership is great, and despite being fully remote, the collaboration between peers and management is great. A lot of freedom; argument for what you do, and deliver what you're supposed to, and you'll be trusted to take ownership of what you do.
Cons
You have to WANT to work. It can be hard work, but it's more rewarding than you can imagine, and the opportunities are endless. Systems can be a *bit* messy, and you have to find a good workflow within the different tools used.

Thank you for your thoughtful review and for being a part of the SDR Team at Deel! We really appreciate the callout on Deel's incredible product, strong leadership, collaborative remote work environment, and the freedom and trust given to our team members.
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.

Business Outlook
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
