Vantaggi

I guess you might like it if you have no life outside of work and you're comfortable with unstructured chaos

Svantaggi

Deel's company culture is a textbook example of how not to run a business. The alarming turnover rate, especially among contractors, screams dysfunction at its finest. The management doesn't just micromanage; they suffocate with their overbearing presence. The CEO, while perhaps ambitious, often behaves more like a petulant child than a leader. Public channels like Slack are riddled with cringe-worthy displays of unprofessionalism from the so-called leaders. And for a company that touts its remote capabilities, the glaring absence of clear remote work guidelines is laughable. Deel's fixation on competitors borders on a schoolyard obsession, and their approach is less strategic and more hysterical. The "competitive analysis" on the company's Notion page, complete with recordings of sales reps from other platforms, is downright tacky. Rumors about Deel's questionable business practices are rife, and their default mode seems to be denial and deflection. Frankly, Deel seems more interested in pointing fingers than in fixing their glaring issues. They're a masterclass in corporate chaos.

Whilst some of us at Deel have worked in much larger organizations and other hyper growth start ups, I disagree that we have any kind of abnormal or egregious corporate chaos. We are in hyper growth mode and thankful to be in this era specifically during this time in the global economy whereby we have sat by and watched other companies lay off team members, reduce compensation and benefits and perks, stop hiring, take down rounds in valuation and funding, etc. As with other start up businesses, and our competitors included, we have turnover as a result predominantly of poor quality of hire and we must and will do better in training recruiters and managers. We continue to invest in coaching our leaders to scale themselves as leaders of an almost 3,000 person global company with month over month revenue and headcount growth. Specifically, communication, leadership principles, presentation, high performance culture are top of mind. And as for competitive analysis, we have been reactive to our competitors tactics, but are moving to change that and control our own narrative. Thanks for this view.

Vantaggi

Supportive management, clear expectations, good money, work from home culture is dialed in

Svantaggi

Deel Speed is real. Not for everyone, but as I said, expectations are reasonable and compensation is appropriate so I don't see it as a con per se.

Vantaggi

- 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

Svantaggi

- 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
