- At Deel, product management has no real autonomy - decisions are entirely top-down.
- Data, user research, and strategy are routinely ignored in favor of CEO/C-level opinions.
- The company values obedience and personal sacrifice over product expertise.
- Compensation is below market, benefits are inexistent, and burnout is widespread.
- Internal HR is ineffective: no real feedback process, no career development, and toxic leadership.
- Career growth is fully political, not merit-based.
- Very low morale among Product Managers, most are actively trying to leave.
