I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Deel in Feb 2025
Interview
Rigorous, includes take home assignment. Final interview with one of the three heads of product was short and intense - definitely a vibe fit more than anything. Clear from everyone I met that the culture is chaotic and ambitious, which unfortunately fits with the espionage revelation.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Deel uses a home task as a second stage for PM interviews to evaluate your readiness for working here. The key goal of this task is to evaluate your problem-solving approach within the framework of "Deel Speed" - emphasizing your capacity to strike the right balance between quick but
meaningful research and confidently making decisions and assumptions in the face of imperfect data
I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Deel in Jun 2026
Interview
The first screening call was pretty straight forward. But the second one was very messy. The interviewer taught that I was a client and was completely zoned out. His focus was not with the interview.
He didn't mention the purpose of the call, didn't talk about the position itself. He said he is going over questions on the screen and there is a scorecard. There wasn't genuine interest, so I felt like I would get rejected afterwards, as there wasn't any mindful listening to what I was saying. He assumed some things instead of clarifying them. He looked bored from the moment he joined the call :D
7 rounds of interviews, with a case study solving a live problem. Confirmed that I cleared all the rounds, got me to give them 2 references. Then suddenly went quiet, and came back saying they gave the offer to someone who took the role at a more junior position
Phone screening, hiring manager, case interviews. All pretty straight forward with no trick question. Went through CV and experience as well as motivations for the role. Talked about relevant experiences to the role requirements.
