      Pros

      PEOPLE: Deel has employees in almost 100 countries from all walks of life. There is no better company to learn from people of every culture, background, and experience on a global, yet intimate level. In my opinion, almost every person at Deel has three defining characteristics: smart, humble, and hardworking. The opportunity to collaborate, work incredibly fast, and build amazing things is found with the people at Deel. LEADERSHIP: Deel has incredibly ambitious and visionary leaders. I joined Deel when the product was contractor payments, sprinkled with some EOR. 2 years later, Deel also provides Global Payroll, US Payroll, HRIS, Mobility, and Incorporation! The founders (and other leaders) just have the "it" factor. Deel is a generational company with the right people at the helm. PRODUCT: Deel's product is best in market because we eat our own dog food. Few companies have built a startup of Deel's scale and speed in a global remote environment. Deel has been in the fortunate (or unfortunate if you ask people team haha) position of navigating HR on an extremely global level, allowing us to intimately know the challenges our customers face. CAREER: Deel provided me with endless opportunities for personal growth and career development. A fast-growing company in a dynamic environment, built on extreme trust and ownership seems to be the perfect storm for career growth. I have seen 20+ of my friends at Deel promoted to Manager and Director levels. People are rewarded and recognized! There are few companies like Deel that provide similar growth opportunities.

      Cons

      NOT LIFESTYLE: Could be considered a con based on personal priorities, but Deel is not a lifestyle company. It's fair to assume that a "remote tech startup" would provide flashy benefits and emphasize work-life balance — but that is not Deel. There are great tech companies that provide that sort of environment, but everything comes with a cost. They may potentially lack career growth, fulfillment at work, and learning. Those three you will most definitely find at Deel instead. EXTREMELY REMOTE: Another con to some may be working in a very remote environment. Remote work is challenging – doing it globally at every timezone is even more. It takes patience, flexibility, and sometimes early/late calls. One who prioritizes workplace camaraderie may be disappointed.

      Thank you for your thoughtful review and for being a leader on the Partnerships team at Deel. We are happy to see that you are happy with the people, company mission / product, and leadership at Deel - and that the pros outweigh the cons for the most part. You make some fair points here , especially on our fully remote work environment. It can be challenging to work at a fully remote company, it does take resilience and adaptability. We are working on opportunities for team members to gather in person to build relationships and camaraderie.

      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
