    My boyfriend was hired
    through this company and it sucked. When he was laid off without reason they directly told him they NEVER comply with the severance pay required by law and that he had to negotiate. Here in mexico it's 3 months plus other benefits for reference.

  • @mcrollin
    @mcrollin Рік тому +30

    My company uses Deel to employ me and over one year, I’ve got a really bad experience so far. It’s consistent with what my other coworkers have been reporting as well.
    It’s mistake after mistake (on days off, on health insurance, on pension), without a direct contact meaning that you have to go through a chat bot then a person that always “can’t help with that inquiry” and needs to escalate. Impossible to get any help without having to wait a minimum of 48h to multiple days even for the most basic info.
    Feels more like being a freelancer than an real employee. I would not recommend to anyone.
    They clearly grew to fast and are happy to cash in new customers but are unable to provide a basic correct service.
    Lastly and I’m not the only one, I’m largely quitting my current position to avoid having to deal with this. We’ve also had candidates refusing an offer because of past experience with bad EoR such as Deel.
