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.

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.

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.

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.
