The work culture in Turkey

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.

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.
