Pros
-Smart colleagues and numerous opportunities to learn, especially for juniors, due to the scale of the projects and the talented team. The large, multicultural corporate projects provide exposure, but they may not offer significant technical growth." -You’ll never feel alone; the manager is highly attentive and stays involved.(well, sometimes over involved and demotivates). -Reaching out to the upper management is fairly easy.
Cons
-Salaries are below market standards, which can be disappointing compared to similar roles elsewhere. -The upper management fosters a toxic work environment, making it difficult to thrive professionally. -They present the facade of a startup mentality, but in reality, you are expected to conform like just another cog in the machine, typical of a toxic Turkish corporate culture. While this isn’t entirely the company’s fault—it’s a common issue in similar organizations—they could be more transparent from the beginning. Don’t assume you’re joining a comfortable EU-style startup; keep in mind that many people here come from traditional Turkish corporate environments. -Indirect mobbing occurs if the manager dislikes you. Be cautious during manager review assignments. While they ask for colleague and manager reviews every six months for performance evaluations, honesty can backfire. HR and managerial relationships are closer than you might expect, and your feedback could end up being discussed openly by your manager, creating an uncomfortable situation. So, be careful and remember that mid-level management works closely with HR, and you're treated as if you have no power. You can't even reach upper management. It's like the president selecting members of the constitutional court who are supposed to judge him.
