Pros

As an engineer (to note, CSM and other roles work very differently; my take is only for engineering as I do not know how it works everywhere else), it feels very good to work at Deel.

  • You can work from anywhere.
  • No more billions of hours of useless meetings.
  • Your work is extremely meaningful and you can easily see how impactful it was.
  • You're rewarded for good work.
  • Basically, you provide good work, you get promoted.
  • Competitive salary.
  • On my team, we have very challenging subjects on very technical matters, allying DB modeling knowledge, performance optimization, and building maintainable engines.
  • Very healthy work conditions, although it depends on your team lead, we do have a very good work culture at Deel where we value the employees.
  • High responsibility: even when you're not a technical lead, you still have a lot of responsibilities, and it's your duty to manage entire features/frameworks.
Cons

Can be very stressful at times, because deadlines are tight and you feel very responsible for your features. You can always count on your team in such occasions, which mitigates this by a lot.

But Deel is still a startup; we work fast, we deliver fast, and it can be very tiring. But you don't join such a company to rest and have it easy. You join Deel if you want a challenge.

Communication can sometimes be a bit complicated when a requirement goes a long way (e.g., the initial need is x, but when going through multiple teams, each adding their own requirement, it becomes messy down the line), especially since we're all remote-working. But Deel manages that way better than any other company, in my opinion.

Advice to Management

I feel like it improved a lot over the past almost two years working at Deel, especially on communication.

Nothing to say, I'm really happy with Deel overall.
