The main struggle I had been dealing with was the need to invest most of my supposed free time into finding new clients and getting new projects. Usually, the projects I found by myself were short-term and, most of the time, not very exciting. This task alone was overwhelming, and it was taking its toll on the expectations that I had about being an independent professional.
I signed up to the Turing jobs platform with the idea that Turing.com were just another job board that would simply put me in touch with potential clients, but I couldn't be happier to be proven otherwise. So here goes my Turing review:
Turing finds me outstanding tech projects that match my abilities, take care of all the agreement details, and follow my relationship with clients every step of the way.
You feel fully engaged in a Silicon Valley tech start-up without sacrificing the perks that come with the freelance life. At the same time, you don't have to worry about late payments nor continuously looking for new projects. Turing is always paying attention to you and your projects, they feel like a professional companion.
Now I can truly say that I'm making the most of my career as a Turing remote freelance product designer, working with innovative tech start-ups across the USA, and stepping up my skills every day. In the meantime, I get all the free time I need and want, and the professional stability too, to do the things I couldn't do before.
Give Turing a go! You won't regret it!
I would like to share my Turing review to give you some insight into how remote work experience would be like.
People working at Turing are great, dedicated, fun, and very helpful. Working with Turing.com gives me space to be myself, I love the flexibility and the fact that I can work from anywhere.
Besides the advantage of working remotely (no need to drive to work, savings in time, and eco and sustainable advantage). We are an inclusive community, taking care of each individual in this challenging time, focused on the result, but with a lot of fun. We're always celebrating and appreciating the team as a whole.
If you are joining the Turing company, be open to new opportunities and be yourself :)
Pros
- Has awesome remote work culture
- I can work from home and spend time on my loved ones and myself
- I don't have to worry about travelling with lots of traffic. And I don't have to get annoyed with bad drivers anymore: D
- The Turing hire process is very simple and easy to follow right from matching with a client to working with them
Cons
None really
Before mentioning any of the good points of Turing company, I'd like to say, you can work at your convenience and at a time that suits you the best. Turing's remote work culture is also one of the best aspects of my job. I no longer have to struggle through the traffic to reach the office. I just sit and log in at an hour as per my convenience. The flexible working hours have made life pretty easy. I don't face the extra pressure of traveling, dressing, or logging in at a specific time.
Also, senior management appreciates your work and respects your ideas that come from the employees.
There is career growth in this company.
I interview developers for Turing jobs and select the best candidates for our customers.
Turing has flexible timings, takes care of a good work life balance, and everyone is active and helping.
For those who want to be a part of Turing, I say go for it, it might be that change/opportunity which you were always looking for.
Turing mainly runs on a data-driven approach. You have to be self-driven and should take initiative. Be it at any level, your suggestions or proposals for refinements or to develop a new process are always welcomed. You get to collaborate with people from across the globe that helps you learn a lot about their skills and gain new perspectives.
Also, local jobs in my country have rigid work timings with less pay and many regulations. Here, I have flexible working hours and more freedom.
Hoping my Turing.com review gives you a clear picture of the organization.
Good things:
- I like the autonomy of being able to manage myself and my work, and the ability to work from anywhere.
- Management is very open and communicative about navigating onboarding.
- As long as you're getting your work done, Turing is pretty flexible about how you're getting it done.
- The organization has a true sense of vision and mission that trickles down from the CEO. There is also a sense of teamwork and collaboration even though everyone is located in different regions across the world - Turing does a great job of trying to cultivate a global workplace culture!
Room for Improvement / Heads-up:
- For those who want to be a part of the Turing family, be prepared to be a little overwhelmed - especially in the beginning - it is a startup and there are still processes that are not yet figured out and not a lot of SOP's created for the processes that do exist.
- The training process is also very minimal, which means that you're kind of learning as you go and when you don't know something - it can hold up your workflow while you try to figure it out or ask for help. This means it can be easy to get blocked. That being said these are issues management is aware of and is trying to improve. On top of that everyone is very nice and helpful (just very busy as well :) ).
For people looking to become Turing developers, my advice would be to have a positive attitude. It is also good to be very responsive and have an adaptive and flexible outlook. Once you become a Turing remote software engineer, the best part begins. From the moment you get one of the Turing jobs, your life as a developer becomes easier. Turing gives you exactly what you need (from managing perspective). Your part from that point is just to develop.
But I had zero worries while joining up with Turing! And to no surprise, it has turned out to be so much more than I expected! I'm definitely holding onto this cup of tea:)
The balance. I've found the focus on work-life balance and well-being extremely refreshing and freeing. You're never overworked or pushed to work beyond 40 hours in a week.
Here at Turing.com, I'm a part of the content team, and I'm primarily helping out with developer facing content and copy efforts. If you're searching for Turing jobs or you wish to be among us, I'd say just put your best foot forward and showcase the extent of your talent. It will definitely speak for itself, and Turing's ears are always seeking the sound of talented folks!
UI/UX design is still in its infancy here in Colombia, especially if you don't live in a large city, like Bogotá, Medellín, or Cali, so the opportunities are scarce and the compensation is not the best. I used to spend 2 hours every day getting to work and then returning back home by public transit and had to wake up very early in order to get to the office in time. Now I can get more hours of sleep and enjoy time with my family back in my hometown.
I love the flexibility of my work hours, the opportunity to work with people coming from Google, Facebook, or LinkedIn, to name a few, having financial stability as well as the possibility of getting back to traveling around the world once the pandemic ends (working at Turing allowed me to travel to Europe during my first year).
For aspiring Turing software developers, a word of advice. Sometimes you might have the feeling that you are not good enough in your area of expertise. Maybe you are comparing yourself to a successful designer or engineer on social media working at a Silicon Valley company and wonder if you'll ever get an opportunity like that. When you've been working at a local level only, taking that initial step is hard: is my English good enough, are my skills as good as I think Turing.com are, how do I even get a chance? My advice is that now is the time to take that step, that the opportunities are now global and that your journey to work with a US company starts here.
What I loved about Turing jobs is that you will be loaded with a lot of exciting work opportunities which helps in your overall career growth. You also get the chance to work with a team of amazing people from all over the world. Plus working remotely gives you a lot of flexibility and make sure you don't miss out on important things in your personal life too.
If you are someone who is looking for a place where you want to excel in your current domain and also learn new stuff along the way, Turing is the place for you.
I connect with new developers who are in the trial period to check if Turing.com are settling down well or not.
To check if they are getting all the necessary support from the Turing team and the client to make their trial period smooth.
I also have to find out if the developers are facing any challenges, and of course mainly if they like their new project.
I'm also involved with the Hiring Operations at the Turing company in interview scheduling, briefing, and preparation process.
I make sure that the developer is well aware of the client's profile, share interview-related tips, and recall them about the basic online interview etiquettes.
Sharing responsibility and giving freedom to perform our tasks in our best way are things that I love the most about Turing.
Remote work is a blessing at any given time, especially during this pandemic situation. Here are a few things I love about remote work.
Traveling and commuting is a major problem in my city. Traffic and public transport system are not so good, so people have to drive for hours to get to the office and back home. With remote work, I don't have to travel anymore.
No more hygiene or sanitization related issues since we're working from home
Flexible working hours. Can start and complete my work anytime.
And the best thing is that we get to eat freshly cooked meals with our dear ones at home.
Turing has the culture of accommodating all sorts of talent and gives them the perfect atmosphere to develop themselves as per their liking and interest.
For aspiring Turing developers, I would recommend you stay self-motivated, make sure to communicate, and correct course when going in the wrong direction.
I applied to join the company in late October. The interview process was lightning fast and in no less than a week, Turing hired me. I joined the company in November. What I've come to love here most is Turing's remote work culture. I had only ever worked with local companies so far; this is my first time working with a truly American company. The difference in work culture is stark. At Turing, you're not micromanaged. There's no hand-holding. You're given the freedom to perform your work as you see fit. There's trust and respect for you and your work.
I work alongside some incredible people, which, I guess, shows Turing's abillity to attract the best talent. I work with Ivy League alums, ex-FAANG employees and just overall highly-skilled folks. My collegues all excel in their own field of work and I'm thrilled I get the chance to learn from them everyday. Turing also encourages you to forge relationships outside of your immediate team. There's regular super-fun team-building activities that help you connect with teammates from all over the world.
Turing is a wonderful place to work. I'm grateful to work here.
In addition, as a resident in a developing country, working remotely with a company in US or any developed country usually provides significantly higher pay compared to most local jobs due to the difference in terms of currency values.
The interview and onboarding process was seamless. What came as a shock to me was how much free reign was handed to you. Of course there are certain deadlines to be met, but working with people from all kinds of time zones is a unique experience all together. The kinds of doors that open up for your career when you work with Turing are endless. You learn and grow with the best in the industry, in a global setting where the standards of work and the culture are impeccable, and as close to perfection as you can get.
The work culture is joyfully relaxed where you are encouraged to reach out to as many people as possible, across countries and departments. One would assume that remote working can get pretty lonely, but not at Turing! There is so much going on that it's sometimes hard to keep track of all the organized chaos. Chess championships, Christmas games, Fitness challenges… you name it!
There is no one breathing down your neck, communication is encouraged and asking for guidance has never been so easy yet sublime. It's not very often where you wake up on a Monday morning and DON'T feel that dread creeping in as you face another long week of work. Your home is your work place; you are in your most comfortable zone, working during hours that you picked out and at a company whose work culture is like Wonderland! It's almost unbelievably magical how many aspects seem to be perfectly aligned to suit your comfort!
To anyone considering growing your career at Turing: Come Aboard, I say! We are a growing family and would love to have more talented people join us! As they say, the more the merrier! I hope that my Turing Review has been helpful in some way!
My work is to analyze and create effective content strategies to drive traction and growth through our social media handles.
Here are the things that I love about Turing:
The freedom to make my own work hours.
Ample time to fit in my workouts and experiment with hobbies I never had time for before!
The fact that nobody from work bothers me outside work hours or on the weekends!
Daily commuting was always an issue for me. I've had to let go of prospective opportunities because of their distance from my residence. I don't have to bother about commuting to work anymore.
The work culture here is so positive! People are always lending each other a helping hand and the management is also very encouraging.
If you're planning to join Turing, JUST GO FOR IT!
