Pros

- Great co-workers on my specific client-facing team. - Remote work.

Cons

- This is a highly toxic culture. One of the values is "Genuine Care" and upper leadership doesn't even display this. Upper leadership is harsh, overly demanding despite our large workload as it is, condescending, and micromanaging. They publicly shame Deel employees and say "we foster open communication and feedback". Good and Great leaders can foster open communication and provide feedback, but in a much more positive way. - Workload is outrageous. It really is unsustainable and exhausting. I understand this is a startup up, but there should also be a line. Upper leadership voice how they love Deel and money over their family. That is so toxic and unhealthy. Deel also is unwilling to hire great talent and compensate appropriately, which leads to turnover and then the work gets pushed onto existing employees. - Lack of diversity and inclusion in upper leadership.

Pros

As an Independent Contractor at Deel, pros are: 1. If the company paid early, you can withdraw early for a fee! 2. You can also get advances of your next payment for a fee too! 3. Also you get 1 hour of "Personal Development" that you will never be able to take because "Deel Speed". 4. You get a miserable $100 USD Health "Benefit" so you can either get the worst Health Insurance possible or gym membership, any other reason to use this benefit is not valid and will be declined, so no therapy for you for your Deel Speed stress build up. Also you got to pay out of pocket and then they'll reimburse you. 5. There is some growth, but only horizontally and if ever vertically the pay is incredibly low compared to peers or the market. Amazing, I know...

Cons

The management decisions might as well be made by somebody that doesn't know the company entirely, is like they go together to a restaurant and one of their friends from another company gets drunk and starts spitting ideas for Deel and management just thinks: "Omg, we should definitely try that!". Everything is rushed and unpolished when deployed, then they start complaining why the transparency and quality of the platform is highly questioned by users and proceed to point fingers at every poor soul that just did their job how they asked to follow through with these non-sense "Deel Speed" demands. Prepare to be available 25/8, with no exception to holidays or sick days, they couldn't care less, and if you don't reply, you'll be warned that your communication is lacking and you might get terminated for this. The company culture is null and all there is to it is "Deel Speed", which is nothing more than just unrealistic expectations for the time it would take anyone to do anything, once you're rushed to desperation, your results are never enough but they will publish them as oh well, they need their numbers and results which is all that matters to the micromanagers around the company. If you work abroad and outside: USA, CA, FR or the UK, forget about any company meetups, no effort to connect you with people from your same country so you might not be as isolated during remote work, and if you ever want to do this you must plan it on your own. Prepare to be an avid autodidact with the terrible knowledge base documents (they can't even keep it organized in one place there's like 3 places where it's stored and it never matches). Because, the training in this company is deplorable and non-existent in many areas. To the point where Customer Support "Specialists", Customer Success Managers and OBMs are constantly asking in Slack channels how truly basic features of the platform work after being on the job for more than a year, and act truly impressed when you explain these basic features to them. By the way they wont stop messaging you afterwards cause you just become a some sort of "Wizard of Wisdom" to them. Last but not least, if you didn't negotiate your salary greatly in your first interview, prepare to be paid the exact same amount, no matter how much you grow, they will perhaps bump your pay 100-200 USD if you push hard enough. At the end they'll make you reach "Deel Speed" terminal velocity, get their results and crash you against the wall by terminating you with no compensation.

Pros

My team was great and I enjoyed working remotely.

Cons

Where do I begin!! Other departments probably had it better but hearing through the grapevine not really! Way too many updates, you can't even do your job effectively with all the constant changes every day! Zero Company culture (they don't care about their employees AT ALL), they care more about the clients than their actual employees that put in the hard work and are underwater with the number of clients we have to manage. To actually say, you are putting the culture on the backend, speaks volumes! The pay sucks!! They bring you in just to turn around and change everything, and will make up a lie in the interview process to get you to join! They don't give promotions or pay increases! Leadership doesn't have an inch of common sense and makes so many changes in a blink of an eye and thinks it's a good thing! I can see all their selfishness and greed will backfire, eventually! I hate I left my last company to come here, at least I was getting paid the same amount and didn't get forced to a pay cut. I went from bad to worse when it comes to companies! All this is doing is pushing me to start my own business and not have to work for careless people like this ever again! No wonder a lot of people are starting their own businesses or leaving companies and getting away from these companies that don't care about YOU!
