Pros

Remote setting for most employees

Cons

Deel presents itself as a platform that supports global employment, but in practice it often feels more focused on protecting employers than supporting employees. The contracts and policies I encountered appeared largely designed to benefit employers, with limited consideration given to how certain provisions may impact employees. Employee support is also difficult to access. Responses can be slow, and resolving issues often requires significant effort and persistence. When employees face workplace concerns, Deel may act more as a facilitator for the employer rather than an independent party seeking a fair outcome for both sides. I would encourage Deel to improve transparency, accessibility of support, and the balance between employer and employee interests if it wants to build trust with the workforce it serves.

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
