Pros

Deel is a start up and as typical with start ups there is an opportunity for significant upside. Significant upside to your career, learning, future opportunities, personal and professional growth, decision making, speed, compensation. If you are a persistent, professional, resilient problem solver who wants to impact humans on the other end of your work whilst building and contributing to the platform in HR technology with the largest competitive advantage to solve for the global workforce then this is the only place to be.

Cons

If you require constant supervision, want to be in an office, expect the compensation and perks and benefits of a Facebook/Apple/Amazon/Netflix/Google, are not comfortable working in a global company with many cultures represented, are not capable of managing your own work schedule and being disciplined in an otherwise 24/7 global work environment where a colleague or customer is always on, are not self-motivated, are not a problem solver, are not resilient and not only open to but expecting change so as not to be stagnant, are not creative or rationale or reasonable then it's not a place to work. Empathy, respect, and collaboration are key in a global workforce with people in over 100 countries all trying to solve the hardest problems in the global workforce tech and management sector.

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
