Pros

Team members are awesome. Since we are not working with a live product, our sprints aren't pressured.

Has free shuttle service.

Gives 120 TRY lunch food money. Though you can only drink coffee with that money from Starbucks.

Cons

Low salary compared to other top 20 companies in Turkey.

Weird choice of health care system, which is one of the worst.

HR is not working for you after you entered the system.

Not able to work remotely, according to the director. He doesn't want us to work remotely, so we have to work hybrid.

Giving raises every three months, but they are giving little amounts just to advertise to others that "we give this much raise" compared to last January. But you did not earn that much because of their weak policy, even though the earnings of the company are in foreign currency.

If shuttle service is not available to your location, it's your fault. There is nothing the company can do.

Advice to Management

Learn to listen more to the low employee side, the "peasant" ones. Be open-minded and challenge yourself with innovations. Don't make promises you cannot keep.
