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.
