Pros

Great coworkers - some genuinely nice people.

Cons

Seems to be no sort of safeguards on volume passed from sales to onboarding. Management just assigns all the accounts out and prays that it gets done. Absolutely zero work life balance. Expect to work late Monday through Friday and a little bit over the weekend, averaging 60-65 hours a week. The product offered to US clients is shockingly bad. I could not believe some of the processes taking place here after working in the industry for years prior. Deel’s bread and butter is with international services so the US product seems to not be getting better anytime soon. The product also breaks ALL THE TIME, sometimes live when your on calls with the client. Expect to submit hundreds of tickets to get things fixed and not have anyone look at them in a timely manner. Everyone at this company is so spread thin that getting someone to assist with anything can take days, even when issues are escalated and need attention right away.

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
