      Software developer intern, then Software developer

      Software developer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Smart people, fast development, great products. Local search engine leader for a long time.

      Cons

      Salary is not aligned anyhow, but depends heavily on your conversation with manager. I worked for 3 months as intern and then converted into full time employee, but salary remained almost the same. After a while I got offer from other company which I liked much more anyway with double salary and happily left. The culture was fine, however if I compare to the next employer, it was sometimes too harsh. We tend to make fun of each other and behave aggressively, but it's more like a game, people did respect each other mostly.

      Could have had an impact in Turkey but lost the chance

      Pros

      - Some good products which are not managed very well - Fresh tea in every hour of the day - Most employees are young, good environment if you're under 25 or looking for the atmosphere - Work/life balance is OK

      Cons

      - Company could have had revolutionary products, but due to poor strategy and implementation, the impact is minor - Poor management vision, un-ability to reach targets - Managers who seem to know everything but doesn't. It's usually an effort to explain your side due to language barrier (few Russians can perfectly understand English) - Central management doesn't care about Turkey and company's brand image here - Variable, unclear targets - Poor C-level, many focus on personal career instead of company's interests - Non-existant HR - Forget about career development - Very poor office location (in middle of disastrous traffic) - Several unhappy workers, infectuously unhappy environment - Many disrespectful people, you could hear people playing loud music in the office when you try to focus - Had used to give travelling allowance but not anymore
