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.

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.

Sateesh, IndiaSoftware Developer

I wanted to work with a US company and that's when I found Turing! The best part is the job flexibility. I don't need to follow the 9-5 routine. I also get to work with people from various cultures across the globe and grow with them.

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.

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.
