Hello everyone,

As an expatriate, working in Turkey can present unique opportunities but also challenges. Discovering new communication styles, adapting to new cultural norms... working in Turkey can be both exciting and confusing.

Share your experience to better understand the work culture in Turkey and facilitate the professional adaptation of people who are wondering about it.

How would you define the work culture in Turkey?

What was the most difficult thing for you when you started working?

What made the biggest impression on you?

How did you fit into your team?

Thank you for your contribution.

To compare with Western Europe, there is a big, bit difference, people in Turkey (as to my experience) are willing to help (in any case verbally). The quality, I have nothing to complain, friendliness is great (with almost ALL), timeliness and agreements might sometimes be an issue.


Overall I am positively impressed, but an appointment should be an appointment at this time or this day.
