We agree that Deel is not for everyone. Working in a fully distributed remote global team is not for everyone. As well, working in a start up company is not for everyone. We anchor in our values which center around resilience, ownership, adaptability to change, flexibility, embracing differences, customer obsession, and Deel speed. We aim to communicate this throughout our interview processes as well as we will begin to include in our performance reviews and recognition. Thank you for the ownership and initiative and long hours and helping us to build the future of work for ourselves and our customers. We appreciate you!

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
