I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Deel in Feb 2024
Interview
I just lost respect for Deel's Talent Acquisition Specialists. They reached out to me and offered me an opportunity which I thought I was thankful for because of things I have heard about them being one of the best employers out there. I have scheduled an interview with them but they didn't show. They did not even have the decency to update you if they're showing up or not. I sent them follow up emails and linkedin messages but still unresponsive. This is so unprofessional. If you don't find the candidate as qualified, you can at least reject them upfront and not ghost them while waiting for 30 minutes in the meeting room.

Other Account Executive interview reviews for Deel
During the interview, I was asked to identify my areas for improvement and confirm my status as a high performer. Additionally, I was asked which two tools I would choose to utilize in my role.
Overall, the product appears sound; however, I identified several red flags during the process which I want to share:
Ramp-up Concerns: The ramp-up period offers guaranteed pay for the first month, followed by a 33% target in the second month and 66% in the third. This is concerning given the sales cycles exceeds three months, which has been mentioned.
Commission Structure: Accelerators do not kick in until the quota is achieved across all "buckets."
Pricing Friction: Selling hardware is reportedly challenging due to the significant price premium of Deel IT compared to standard market vendors. This pricing gap becomes even more complex when dealing with larger volumes for enterprise.
I met with a recruiter and with very standard line of questioning. Some of the questions were very vague about how I go about process management, relationships, etc. when I asked for specifics, it wasn’t thoroughly explained. Pretty low base compensation compared to their competitors and current market rate as someone with senior level experience.
