Pros

Well known, mostly respected product Some good people (most leave) PMF

Cons

First off, for all the resources you have, the internal tools and IT is just absurd. 40 different portals and slack channels that have different functions, an IT team that’s all over the place. The tools are a mess, and ticketing is even crazier. If “slack is the office”, your office is a mess. You don’t invite people into a mess. Clean it up! Further, Deel’s sales culture is toxic to say the least. They’ll sell things they aren’t ready to sell on the backend, and it leaves a mess for reps and rightfully angry customers. RevOps is always struggling to keep their head above water. Expectations are often downright unreal or terribly misaligned…often both! Internal tool changes with poor planning that cause big issues and leave teams unable to do their jobs. Not sure how contractors “work” internally as they’re expected to work all normal business hours and request time off. A company that doesn’t care who it burns, as long as the top makes a buck. Promotions hardly ever come (if at all). Oh, and you’ll also likely make more working at another tech company. I was told to post a good review from a C-level not long before i left, so beware of these good ones. the company goes out of their way to figure out who said what.

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
