Pros

The company has the potential to be a strong global player in the hearing implant field. Cutting-edge technology and innovative products in global.

Cons

Extremely toxic management in the Turkey office, with a culture of intimidation and emotional abuse. Serious mobbing issues; my predecessor was fired after only 1.5 years, and my manager even proudly described verbally abusing them. Bullying happens behind closed doors; the manager acts friendly in public but isolates employees for harsh treatment. No job description or clear performance goals were provided for over a year, despite HR's repeated requests. Salary and bonuses were not paid as promised in writing; asking about them led to threats of reporting me to upper management. Feedback was rarely given, and even high-quality work was never acknowledged or concluded properly. I was accused of having poor performance near the end without any prior feedback or guidance. Despite my 10+ years of experience (particularly in cochlear implants), I was paid extremely poorly—seven times less than what I earned at a competitor six years ago. Requests for clarification or improvement were met with accusations of being disrespectful. A highly damaging work environment—completely unsuitable for anyone who values their mental health.

Pros

Friendly people, challenging work, important mission. US headquarters is a beautiful building. Dedicated teams/departments working together to bring hearing to hearing-impaired adults and children through advanced technology. Management cares about the company culture.

Cons

No real downside to working here. Compensation and benefits for the geographical area are competitive, but could be a bit better.
