Pros

I joined Deel as an Account Executive in 2022 and I've never looked back. Most of my time is dedicated to assisting founders and c-suite executives in navigating the immigration process across 30+ countries and continents. These conversations not only stimulate me intellectually but also enable me to build close relationships with prominent figures at renowned companies and pioneers in cutting-edge technologies like AI. From the perspective of an Account Executive, this role has been the most financially rewarding I've ever had. It's no surprise that the majority of my leads come to me: Deel stands as the industry leader, serving clients ranging from burgeoning startups to household names in various sectors, including BBC, Nike, and Reddit. We fulfill a crucial need for both companies and individuals, delivering exceptional value by "bringing people to work." Companies rely on us for seamless operations, and their employees depend on us for timely payments. I appreciate that Deel employees use the same portal and processes as our customers, providing us with firsthand insights into what works and how we can continue to make improvements. Deel Speed isn't just a catchphrase; it's a reality. It's not about rushing and causing disruptions; it's about working with a sense of urgency and swiftly finding solutions when challenges arise. Every team at Deel is composed of the brightest, most talented individuals I've ever had the pleasure of working with, spanning 3000+ employees across 100+ countries. There's a consistent spirit of collaboration across all communication channels. Even our CEO, Alex, is just a DM away when you need assistance. (You'll also find him and other executives like the CRO Shuo and COO Dan actively engaged in Slack discussions, sleeves rolled up and ready to contribute.) As a result, you can rest assured that your feedback will be heard and that you have the opportunity to make a tangible impact on Deel and its 20,000+ customers. Oh another pro? Equity in a $12B unicorn that’s been profitable for over a year. ;)

Cons

At Deel, we're a team of doers, not bystanders. We're the ones who make things happen, who turn the gears, and who refuse to be held back by anything. We embody the words of Snowflake CEO Frank Slootman: "Make your days, other people's weeks. Make your weeks, other people's months. Make your months, other people's years." Deel is for drivers, not passengers.

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
