Pros

Salary: The salary is really, really good compared to the other companies in Turkey. If you stay long enough, you can get excellent compensation. Other employees: There are really good friendships made at the office. Everyone is respectful to each other and very friendly. Coffee breaks: When you are exhausted, you are always free to take a break.

Cons

Work-life balance: Customers of the product are primarily in the USA. Since the company pays you a good salary, the managers find the right to call you at night if something is wrong. After you get home in the evening, you can't even have dinner since there are evening meetings every day. Some colleagues have to leave the office at 11 pm because of the endless meetings. The product must be supported 24/7 so you might be disturbed even on public holidays or your day-offs. Self-development: You can find new technologies to work with but mainly you are supposed to do bug fixes and minimal changes to the code. The code is legacy and you are usually not allowed to make it better. Sometimes you might feel like a customer support rather than a developer. Terrible management: This is probably the main reason that the company loses so many employees. When you have a problem, the only option is to quit because there is no value given to employees regardless of their years of experience in the company. You are just a worker who can be replaced.

Pros

- Salary is above average and you always get paid on time. - In-office manager is a kind, cheerful and reasonable woman. - Product management team is relatively large. They have engineering backgrounds. They are all sharp-minded, smart and willing to help. Overall they are the type of Product team you would want to work with. - Every individual in Engineering team is highly skilled. Senior engineers are worthy of their title, they are experts in their area. There even is a Staff level engineer in the office. - Current Upper Management are the oldschool founders. They are experienced, have a huge technical background and know what they're doing. They generate optimal business value out of actions.

Cons

- On your first day, you hear people talk about how bad it is to work there. People complain about things like that they work till the midnight, or how they are forced to work on areas other than their expertise. They say employees those left the company have made the best decision ever. This highly impacts your motivation from the first day, especially if you come from a better structured workplace where people enjoy their daily work. You just don't feel attached to the company and you know that you won't be staying there for long. - Upper management is in constant "stressed out" state due to deadlines and other reasons we might not know. They are sometimes inconsistent and kind of hard to work with. But it isn't too bad, just a minor con. I believe you would eventually get along well after you get to know each other. - As of today there are two HR employees. I think none of them has prior HR experience. One is a good mannered, young girl; trying to do her best. Other is a complete opposite toxic, spiteful, envious character; She has the lowest intellectual mind-set of all and posses a high level of ignorance. Fails to grasp a discussion in its original context, prone to taking things personally. Enjoys gossiping. She often comes up to you and makes a ghetto-style-implication. For example, she randomly tells you that "She has been here longer than you". She is the typical uncultured sly. You have to watch out for this annoying, rude, dangerous old woman.
