Pros
1. Team is the best benefit in Deel: Everyone I worked with was focused on the result, not the process itself. If it requires going outside the usual scope, most will do so to help. It means less corporate ping-pong and more productive cooperation. 2. Work from anywhere: Many like this in Deel. I work from home 90% of the time, but I love seeing others change flags in statuses. 3. I also mention it as one of the Cons: Deel is a quick-paced company, which means the product team delivers a lot and often.
Cons
1. Deel isn't your match if you are used to or looking for a relaxed and slow-paced work environment. This doesn't mean that everyone overworks, but it requires designers to deliver at a decent pace, adapt constantly, and be proactive about product decisions. I was directly informed about this during the interviews, so it totally matched my expectations since it also meant delivering fast. However, I have seen people leaving after a couple of months due to being overwhelmed with the workload. For others, it's a completely normal pace. 2. Onboarding may be rough: In some departments, domain knowledge is massive, and making decisions quickly and correctly requires learning many mechanisms related to compliance, legal, and HRX mechanisms in the product. Depending on your personality, it can be both daunting and exciting. On the other hand, the team would do their best to help you learn—your success is part of their success. 3. Not so many benefits: Some product companies cover healthcare, sports, mental wellbeing, education, etc. Deel isn't one of them. There is an annual travel budget, and that's it—for some, a travel budget isn't useful due to personal reasons.
