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

Pros

People are great, I have created amazing connections and friendships along the way. Fun work environment we work hard but are able to play harder. Global reach, often connecting with people around the world.

Cons

Not much mobility and constant change. Hard to be stable in that kind of environment. Many times the plan is not fully complete before expecting execution and very siloed creating duplication of effort and work.
