Pros

- You can work remotely

Cons

Joining Deel is like getting on a carnival ride, not a rocket ship. I chalked up the chaos to hyper-growth, but after my first few weeks it became apparent that the root cause is actually just gross mismanagement. I agree with the other reviewer about the real definition of “Ontop speed” — get it done quickly and poorly even if that will be a less efficient and worse result in the long run. And then they’ll blame you for the bad outcome even though they forced you into it. It’s a no-win situation.

Pros

My teammates were great people.

Cons

Leadership are absolutely clueless on how to run a business. Nobody knows what they're doing, it's actually hilarious. If you're considering joining Ontop, I would absolutely recommend NOT doing so. Exec team works everyone like slaves because their one goal is cashing out, they don't care about you and will lay off teams 5 days before Christmas. The product is garbage. No one knows what real growth looks like or how to make it happen. Go apply at Deel, Remote, Rippling, etc.
