Pros

- working hours are 9-6. easy job no need to stay longer than that. you get your national bank holidays - if there is a gap day that u want to extend you need to have a lottery among your colleagues to have longer stays, so if u are lucky you get longer extended vacations plus you get very free bananas and apples - if you want to have mineral water the office manager can tell you those are for guests not for employees - booking benefit 1000 Euro per yer

Cons

- Current management is way far away from the global vision, typical old fashioned Turkish bossy attitude, - Senior management loves gossiping and encourage employees to do so to be able to get info about other senior managers - Current management has been there for ages, very hard to change and get them adapt to the global vision - transparency is zero, during 1 to 1 meetings people are being told that they are going to be promoted, promotions are planned - behind the closed doors people are being told that they are not worth extra training - the most famous saying I have heard lots of times is that if you don't like it here, you have your legs you can leave or go somewhere else.( regional manager's own saying during Istanbul office visit

Take initiatives!

Pros

Great ambiance and work environment! You need to love working on a collective mindset. Take initiatives and be a force of proposal is the key. Be creative as the company has been growing really hard in the past years and any initiatives that you can take, measure and have an impact will be an improvement for everyone in the business side. Company culture is great and processes in HR has been evolving really hard in past years.

Cons

In some mature market the tasks can be repetitive and boring at the end if no improvements are done. Give more freedom to local teams for negociation with partners instead of only trusting customers
