Pros

The environment and pace of Deel are unique. You'll meet smart and engaged professionals who get the job done and projects completed at the famous Deel Speed. There are a lot of growth opportunities. I had 3 movements within the first 1.5 years, including one promotion. They walk their "remote work" talk and grant the employees the resources to live an actual remote life working from anywhere. Deel keeps growing at an incredible rate, so it's still a great time to be part of the team.

Cons

There's a hard-to-understand policy of region-based compensation. People doing the same job can be earning very different salaries based solely on where they are based. On top of that, people within the same region often get paid different salaries for the same work, and that took some time to be addressed by higher management.

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
