I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Deel (Portugal) in Nov 2025

Everything was awesome, people are super nice and polite, and they make you feel at ease with everything.
They are genuinely interested in you as a person and a professional.
Loved everything,
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Experience.
Tell me about a time you went above and beyond for a customer?
The process started off smoothly with both the recruiter and the hiring manager — clear communication and a good pace overall. After those two interviews, I was asked to prepare for presentation that simulated an email/call scenario with the Director of Customer Success. The goal was to demonstrate how I would handle different situations and collaborate with cross-functional teams.
One red flag for me was during the conversation with the Director — they mentioned that several employees had recently left after only a few months due to the heavy workload and long hours. It also seems that the PEO side of Deel is still in the early stages of development, and while the team is growing, there doesn’t appear to be much structure in place yet.
Overall, the interview experience itself was fine, but I would have appreciated more concrete feedback afterward.

I applied through an employee referral. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Deel in Jul 2025
Interview
The interview process was incredibly fast! First, I spoke with HR, who explained that the process consisted of three interviews – and it was exactly as they said. The second interview was with the hiring manager, and then with the group product manager.
It was super quick: on the same day as the first interview (a Thursday), I was already told I'd move to the second round. I had the second interview on Monday, was told on Tuesday I'd proceed to the third and final one, which I had on Wednesday. That very same afternoon, I received the email saying the position was mine!
