Elvis, BosniaiOS Developer

I work as a Turing iOS developer. My experience with them has been really good. Guys at Turing matched me with a top client super quickly. I found the entire matching process to be very precise and smooth. It’s rare to find a company that delivers on its promises. But both Turing and the company I got matched with kept their promises. From my experience I can tell you once you get here, your work-life becomes easier and you can focus on doing what you love the most.

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!

Sebastian, ColombiaProduct Designer

When I started my journey as a freelance product designer, I had to invest most of my time into finding new clients and getting new projects. Luckily, while surfing the web, I came across a few Turing.com reviews and decided to apply there. Life has changed a lot after that. People at Turing not only find me outstanding tech projects that match my abilities and take care of all the agreement details but also follow my relationship with clients every step of the way.

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.
