Horrible experience

Pros

Colleagues are helpful and resourceful. Company lets you travel to Moscow once or twice and that is nice. Actually that might be the only nice thing that they provide to Turkish employees.

Cons

Company does not provide enough HR support to its workers so when you have a problem you have to deal with it yourself and since you cannot solve it on your own, you are left with your problem. They do not care if you are happy or not, they do not pay if you work extra hours and if those extra hours are even more than hundreds of hours it is still the same. HR is absolutely horrible. C levels are the ones that this company cares only. They do not pay you enough, they do not provide any social motivational events for the employees, they use the statements on your contract to put you down and they even fire people in tricky ways. This company is a failure in Turkey and has to go back to Russia asap!

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
