Pros
-Flexible work hours, as long as you are in 38 hours/week in the office, you can leave except core hours. Which is reasonable. -Chances to work on a global projects. -Chances to jump to a new department easier than most of the companies.
Cons
*This is only about the Istanbul office.* -Fringe benefits are the worst. There's no shuttles (like other companies in Turkey) to work or financial support/allowance. Simply, they don't care how you come to the office. Also management has told the employees they're never going to give extra money for the road. -Also the 'private' health insurance is really bad. Not the health insurance company, the terms between adesso Turkey and the insurance company are the worst. They also don't change a thing, because it will make them pay more. -It seems management and HR are trying to build a lean management system. They show it like that. But when it comes to decisions (trivial or important), they simply don't care about your opinion, if you're not some kind of manager. -Because of the lack of the people in the company, they made many senior developer some kinds of managers. And those people don't have neither leadership nor social skills, at all. -This company has no culture. Everyone is hired by their technical skills now, even if they don't match the company's personality. It wasn't used to be like this, HR was able to disapprove some person if they didn't have the same mentality with the rest of the company. It used to be great in 2018. -Newly changed HR is really the worst. They can't do anything to make people feel welcome, part of the family. They're just being good to the management. -The pays are really lower than the market. -Pays are also not equal. You can make much more/lower than the same level colleague. -When an employee says they're going to leave for more money, they just raise up their paycheck, to keep them in the firm. -This is depending on the project, but there are so many people who works overtime so much. They don't get paid or get any vacation (like even a day). Or no one comes and asks how you're doing with that much work. -adesso Turkey is legally known as research&development center. This is just means they get incentive money from the state, in exchange of employees stay in the office for 38 hours/week. There's no real R&D going on, adesso is not producing any new innovation or something. But the management is bragging about this in EU, like there's a new innovative development in adesso Turkey. -The most important things in this firm are 1. bookings, 2. R&D working hours. So basically, the only important thing is the employer is getting paid or not. If an employee fails/forgets to book even an hour, changes are really high, they will be rebuked. -If an employee resigns, the management/their lead will literally gets resented. Their response is always emotional pressure.
