Pros
Remote work is the only positive
Cons
This is a long list so I have bulleted it out. Deceitful- They are going to lie at every step starting from your first engagement with Turing. They are going to lie about what the company does, what you will be doing, about the work culture, about the work life balance etc. Even employees working for 3 years thought that Turing was a product company. This is the extent they tend to go with their lies. I was hired stating that they have a big vision for the project and want someone who can carry it out for them. They repetitively lied that they are a product firm that has an AI tool. First of all, they don't own any AI tools. They use a tool internally and that doesn’t make them a product organisation. They will hide everything under the umbrella of AI. Let's talk about their AI. They will hire strong developers for code review and train LLM models, but in the interview use the word AI and glorify the role so that the person assumes that they are gonna build/work on something related to AI. It is not a PRODUCT/AI company- They are gonna portray as if they are an AI Infrastructure company or an AI product company. Don’t trust them. They are not. They are just a recruitment consulting company trying to be an IT service company, nothing more than that. Even employees working for 3 years thought that Turing was a product company. This is the extent they tend to go with their lies. Micromanagement like hell- They will talk a lot about remote and work life balance. Forget that such a thing exists in Turing. Once you are in the system you will be micromanaged like hell, you will be working for 12+ hours a day (Mostly nights). Toxic management- The managers are toxic like hell. They will give you an assignment which they know that you have never worked on and ask you to deliver. The managers will straight up say that there will be no KT provided. They ask you to figure it out on your own and deliver in a timeline that is unrealistic even for someone working on similar assignments. No one's gonna help you because here everyone is trying to save their job and trying to outperform each other. Hire and Fire and then hire and fire again- Turing’s moto- hire, fire, hire again and then fire again. That too they make sure to fire just a couple of days before the probation ends so that they don’t have to pay the severance. No reason, just a lottery. I was told that I was part of a project that has a long term vision. Yes, the vision was long. Three months long. They created a hype about Turing by offering code review/LLM trainer roles based on RLHF sugar quoted with words like AI infrastructure development/Data Science/Business Analyst to make a fool out of people. Now you tell me, is Data Scientist or Business Analyst anywhere related to an LLM trainer? All in all Turing will mess-up with your professional and personal life by lying about each and every thing and keeping you in the stress of losing your job at any point of time even if you are performing up to the mark.
