Pros

There is shuttle to go to work and return back to home, Meal during the lunch time. If you do not like to challenge yourself too much, then this place is perfect for you. After you just are accepted to the job, you do not have to push yourself. Year by year you can be a senior software engineer. And after 10 years, you can be easily senior specialist at Garanti Technology. And you can make quite good money,

Cons

Despite the good news that I have written, you may be stick into old technology. If you are a developer, you cannot easily find another job because you might be already behind the new technologies. And after being specialist, it is not certain that you can be a manager. You need to have good connections and your bosses should like you.

Pros

BBVA as a whole, it has a very friendly work environment and has a unique culture unlike any other bank in midtown

Cons

That being said, any team or department that lefts unchecked can end up becoming toxic which happened at my team. There was a VP/ED who was mistreating me to a point where it was a violation of the code of conduct and was impacting my overall internship experience and my chances at a full time job because this ed/vp was allowed to mistreat based on personal biases against me. I reported it to our manager during our midterm meeting to which I phrased it as “he was in violation of the code of conduct and has been abusive”. Instead he yelled at me during the meeting because he didn’t want to lose someone who downgraded from a BB that he got for cheap. He said in the end of the meeting he would talk with the Ed/vp but a month later he pulled me into a room with HR and said today was the last day of my internship. Very unprofessional as he clearly sided with the toxic Ed/vp and booted me out because he didn’t want to lose the Ed/vp even if he was in violation of the code of conduct. Horrible experince and everyone in my team failed to uphold to professional decency. As long as everyone in that team is still there would not recommend this team at BBVA unless something structurally changes.
