Clement shares his experience after becoming a Turing Developer

Clement, NigeriaFull Stack Developer

I have been working as a full-stack developer at Turing.com for more than a year now. While applying for Turing jobs a year back, I found the Turing test to be very challenging. But it was a good learning experience for me. Through the AI/ML-enabled tests, Turing reviews how good you’re with your skill. Working with Turing has been a very satisfying experience for me so far. I get to work for Silicon Valley companies and enjoy good pay as well. I am also part of an elite community of the world’s best developers.

Ahmed, PakistanFull Stack Developer

I’ve been working as a full-stack developer and solution architect with more than 10 years of experience. My experience as a Turing developer has been quite amazing. My onboarding process was super smooth. Although I had read a few Turing.com reviews about the onboarding process here, I never really expected it to be this awesome. My coordinator helped me in every single step- from getting hired by top Silicon Valley clients to making sure my needs were met at all levels.

Hadji, AlgeriaFull Stack Developer

Although I had worked at oDesk and Elance (now popularly known as Upwork) for more than 5 years, the pivotal moment in my career came when I joined the global team of Turing in 2020. I never imagine that the role I would be offered would come with such stability and prominence. Apply to be one among many Turing developers. It will change your life like it did mine!

Ermal, KosovoSoftware Developer

Before joining Turing, I was working as a software developer for almost 6 years with extensive experience in game development. But it is only after I became a Turing developer, I began to manage my time better, stayed focused on my career goals, became more adaptable. I also learned how to work with different technologies and global teams. If I were to ask to review Turing.com, I would say it has been a rewarding journey for me so far.

Software Developer Quang share his experience working with Turing jobs

Quang, VietnamSoftware Engineer

Before joining Turing, I had 7 years of software engineering experience in web development and ML and Data Mining. Turing allowed me to explore my passion for creating long-term value for customers. They also helped me in applying new technologies to increase product quality. Thanks to Turing, I have a very healthy work-life balance now. I really hope my Turing review will be helpful for you in some way.
