Pros

-Great instructional environment for beginners also, good team mates supporting you to show know/how always - Great understanding of your managers, specially line managers. -Feeling Europe culture at environment mostly - No problem at payments, overwork payments or on duty payments on time -There are some international project opportunities, they also may send you abroad for training or projects - Good reputation of this old phone giant and new network infrastructure giant. -There is a brilliant future of the company because Huawei is losing ground on 5G and network infr. due to political reasons. -New CEO is giving courage and hope for the future.

Cons

- There is a huge gap between management and individual salaries. - If you don't raise red flag or if you don't attend to quit and go to another company, you will have similar salary in same position for years. -Salary raises are under inflation rate - As Turkey has a problematic economy and life , but the company is thinking Turkey comfortable as Finland sometimes -You can feel alone and unsupported in some projects or issues, they give all responsibility on one person and no more feedback or help but just pushing to finish that work. -Promotion opportunities are really slow, because most managers are seating on same seat for years.
