Pros

So unique - you wont find a company like Deel. Its the fastest growing startup in history for a reason. Smart team, challenging goals. Working remotely is the best.

Cons

Working remotely is amazing but it doesn't suit everyone. No office vibe.

Could not agree more that remote work is not suitable or desirable for all. For anyone considering an opportunity at a fully remote, global company they should consider their self-motivation, resilience, ability to work alone from home, self discipline for working in a 24/7 global environment where a team member or customer is always awake and working, ability to manage their own schedule and set boundaries, curiosity, desire to seek out answers, comfort using communication tools like Slack or video. Really consider the environment and where you believe you could be a best fit and how you like to work.

no cons really but if I have to say one thing, it would be 401K can be higher to match.

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
