Pros
  • One of, if not the best, employers in Turkey considering the benefits.

  • OK salary for Turkey – pays better than banks etc.
Cons
  • Toxic people filling the gaps in the corporate hierarchy and sucking the life out of you.
  • Most work is not really exciting.
  • Subsidiary of Siemens Germany. Teams get dismissed arbitrarily.
  • Extremely low salary compared to the rest of the world.
  • Too many work hours.
  • No meaningful career path, just gotta wait your years out and fulfill arbitrary requirements.
