Pros

Working at Deel as a recruiter has been genuinely exciting. The company operates across 150+ countries, which means you're constantly partnering with hiring managers globally and building out diverse, international teams. The fully remote setup is a huge plus, you have flexibility in how and where you work, and the async culture is well-established. Compensation is competitive and above market for most roles, especially in emerging markets. Benefits are strong: equity, home office stipend, co-working allowance, and learning & development budgets. The product itself (global payroll, compliance, EOR) makes selling the company to candidates very easy — it's a mission-driven space. The talent acquisition team is collaborative and well-resourced with modern tooling (Greenhouse, LinkedIn Recruiter, etc.). Leadership is transparent and the company moves fast, lots of internal mobility and career growth opportunities.

Cons

Rapid hypergrowth can sometimes make processes feel inconsistent or fast-changing, headcount priorities can shift quickly, which requires staying very agile. The pace is intense and may not suit everyone.

Pros

The ICs and middle management are good people genuinely trying their best, although a lot of quit or gotten fired so that might have changed. Bonus payouts were generally been decent

Cons

Don't let the Customer Success title fool you — this is a reactive support role. You get thrown into customer calls almost immediately with barely any product training, and the internal documentation you're supposed to rely on is often outdated or just wrong. The expectation is 4 customer calls a day, 20 a week, on top of a massive workload. 10+ hour days are normal. The Head of CS preaches on LinkedIn daily his awful takes and act likes he a wise leader, when he’s the most toxic leader I’ve ever worked under. In order to be successful he suggests if you’re not thinking of work on the weekend then you don’t care enough. He’s also known to yell at and cuss out CSMs for customer issues that are out of their control. I’m not even going to begin with the rest executive leadership - just Google what’s going on with them. It’s as much of a mess on the inside that it seems on the outside. Team culture is rough. Different departments have completely misaligned expectations of each other and it creates constant friction, confusion, and chaos. Nothing is truly efficient here when you’re bounced between 5 different departments to get a simple answer. Tensions are high between CS, support, payroll and HR. The product grew too fast without the quality to back it up, so platform issues are frequent. And if you need any more proof of how things are run: their own US payroll can't consistently pay employees correctly or on time. Make of that what you will. Deel Speed is a real thing. Deel Quality is not. Almost everyone is unhappy and actively looking for a way out. This honestly becomes evident after 2 weeks there once you hear how stressed and burnt out everyone is. Take the positive Glassdoor reviews with a grain of salt. Employees are prompted to leave a review during onboarding before they know what they’ve gotten themselves into.
