Turing.com Reviews 191

The Turing platform has proven to be the most dishonest and racist. Consider this: after completing all stages and everything going well, I quickly logged in to check if my page had been updated following my non-technical interview. To my surprise, however, my code challenge had been left unmarked, and I received a response stating that I didn't meet the requirements for non-technical skill. I couldn't stop laughing at these people; I don't know why they are wasting people's time and energy. I'm hoping that by doing this, they'll be forced to confront their justification for doing so. LOL, the majority of their questions are written in backward English. https://ibb . co/z26VWmd

Worst experience of my life.
I dedicated a bunch of hours doing quizzes, not perfect questions, but I've seen worst.
Then the coding challenge, literally the worst experience of my life.
I did plenty of interviews, live coding, home assignments, LeetCode challenges, I have never seen such a poor platform.
They register everything (camera, screen and audio), advise to stay in your tab, at the most switch for documentation, specifying to not look at platforms like StackOverlow.
At the sime time, they do not provide a shell to test things out and their "Run tests" that should let you see logs and result can be pressed EVERY 60 SECONDS. I'm guessing this is some kind of crap to save money on provider's bills (eg. AWS, Azure, etc...).
A ticket to their support has been sent, will try out the coding challenge again in 90 days and, in case it has been improved, I'll be more than happy to edit this review.

They waste a lot of your time on quizzes and coding challenges, not providing all the necessary information about all the steps beforehand - as a result, your losses are snowballing. The outcome could be anywhere from zero to maaaayyybe.

I am surprised at how the obviously fake reviews manage to go undetected here. I, [full name], worked from [city] as [position] at [Turing alias], [false info], [false info]. Trustpilot appears to be easily deceived for somebody claiming to be a source of the trust.

I signed up for Turing a couple of days ago, despite reading the flurry of bad comments I wanted to see it for myself.

Due to the sketchy technical assessments, I didn't get to the interview round.
Their initial "quick" assessments (15 questions/15 minutes) were full of typos and written in bad English. Not only that, but they asked about all kinds of obscure things that are irrelevant to the given technology (I'm a developer with 15 years of experience, and did loads of these assessments earlier).
Then, their so-called "coding challenge" has the worst platform imaginable, code something without being able to debug or even copy a line of code (within the editor). And it also had bugs, of course.
All of this led me to believe that this company is not serious about bringing in talent.

Instead, they go for the desperate people from countries with weak economies ("In the vast majority of cases, we recommend pay for our developers that far exceed what they would make in their local economies" - that's straight from their FAQs)
And sure as hell that they don't shy away from fleecing those people as much as possible.

Also, the 5-star reviews here are blatantly fake, and in general, every nice comment and article I found came from a Turing employee, not someone who worked with them.

I recently had the unfortunate experience of dealing with Turing.com, and I must say it was an absolute nightmare. However, my interactions with the platform left me deeply disappointed and frustrated.

First and foremost, the website itself was plagued with numerous bugs and technical glitches. After completing the interviews and being excited about moving forward, I encountered multiple issues while trying to complete my profile. These issues prevented me from providing vital information. It was a clear indication of a poorly designed and unreliable platform.

To make matters worse, the support team at Turing.com was utterly unhelpful and displayed a shocking level of rudeness. When I reached out to them for assistance with the technical issues I was facing, they seemed disinterested in resolving the problems and provided vague, unhelpful responses. It felt as if they had no intention of addressing my concerns or ensuring a smooth experience for their users. Their lack of professionalism and disregard for customer support is simply unacceptable.

Furthermore, the entire experience left me questioning the true motives of Turing.com. With the constant technical issues and the unhelpful support team, it seemed more like a data collection site rather than a legitimate platform for hiring remote developers. I couldn't help but wonder if my personal information was being mishandled or used for purposes other than what I had intended.

In conclusion, I strongly advise anyone considering Turing.com as a platform for hiring remote developers to proceed with extreme caution. My experience was marred by technical glitches, an unhelpful support team, and a general sense of suspicion regarding the company's intentions. There are undoubtedly better alternatives available that prioritize professionalism, reliability, and customer satisfaction.

I signed up for Turing.com on 2020 and cleared all their technical rounds. Initially, it was a just assessment tests and filling up my profile but after that I had real-person interviews. First it was a coding round where they had a tough problem and someone breathing down/watching you as you code a solution--so when I cleared that I was over the moon because it was relatively tough and I hoped it would lead to some yield. Next was a more general technical round and after clearing that I finally a call with one guy who told me how much they are offering me to earn and wrote down ₹2 lakh per month on chat for a 4-hour/day i.e. half time commitment, working 20 hours a week. I agreed and waited for the next interview but that was pretty much it. It's been 4 years now and they are legit a useless platform. I have found work from so many other platforms and mostly through direct referrals and earn better figures but not a single dollar from them. An absolute waste of my time and effort. I still occasionally login to the platform and see my profile sitting on the "Get Hired" progress bar but that's pretty much it. It's dead.

Fake job and promises.
Turing is totally fake, they do not have jobs and they just market on linkedin and everywhere for fake jobs. I completed my profile here passed 16 tests and I already have spent weeks on their platform its been 2 years I didn't get a single interview call. At the end when I gave up they offer me a job in which I cleared 3 round of test and on 4th round I had a technical interview, after that interview there is no update on job post no response, even when I raised a ticket they have same response every time. "Congratulations on completing the vetting process! We appreciate the time and effort you have put into it. Now, all that's left is waiting for a match!". There response is this after completing a job proposal interview so what about that job I saw earlier, was that fake?

The website is great. I heard people complain about turing devs being incompetent. I am sorry if your experience was bad. This is my turing experience. I met this developer who I promised I would recommend to others. This guy just blew me away, he is timely on projects and gives your project priority. He recently completed a project for me in less than 3months which was the target. I have never been this happy. I wish I had another project to give him. The best I can do is to recommend him here. There are truly top notch developers out there, but are hard to find. This one has been a blessing to me. If you have any project here is his email arcticdev8 @gmail. com .

There are various reviews I have read about Turing, comparing it with another leading platform etc. I opted for both platforms at the same time, and here is my experience:

Onboarding experience: Turing onboard you with a speedy call and interview the interviewer about your requirement.
They ended the call saying they would provide you access to the platform while there was no response for a day for an urgent requirement starting the following week. I approached another Top Talent site(pun intended) simultaneously, and they did a similar call to develop my job spec and fine-tune it. I had to put in a $ 500$ deposit, which was fine given the urgency.

When I was friendly and professional in informing Turing, I did not need access any more as I had already found someone suitable and would explore other roles in future where I have more time. The response comes like this:
Please get in touch with us again when you need a contractor for longer than three months. This expalined the delay.

I genuinely fail to understand why someone would have visibility for a contractor for more than three months if you are a startup in the Uk. 3 months is standard.

Hence, if you are a dynamic and high-tech startup in the early stages( seed to series A ) that needs experienced folks for short to medium-term contracts or part-time expertise, this is not the platform as this does not offer the flexibility required. I can only give one start for the wasted time, business model, and poor expectations against comparable platforms.

I am slightly disappointed since the code challenge is only done with the following languages: PHP, Java, Python, Ruby, C#, JavaScript, C++, Go, and Swift.

Before preparing for the coding challenge, ensure your favorite language is supported.

I’m Soumik Majumder from Kolkata, India. I've been working at Turing for 1 year, 4 months. Turing’s ambition to be the frontrunner in the IT space is something that excites me. It's a company that is revolutionizing the concept of remote work and creating a cutting-edge platform for developers and top US companies to get connected while also establishing a global community of team members. It's why I love the organization. The company strives to be a flexible and pleasant workplace for everyone, and everyone is given opportunities to grow and explore their skills.

I am Florencia from Argentina. I'm a content writer, I optimize content for SEO, and create fresh written content for ES pages. I have been working with Turing for ten months. I love the flexibility of remote work, it makes me feel comfortable. Turing gives you the chance to grow professionally and financially. Working in a high-level company is a before and after in my life. Without a doubt, I will no longer be able to accept any job in the future, Turing has set a very high bar for local businesses. If you think you have what it takes, don't hesitate to apply to Turing and complete the selection process, it's really worth it.

I passed all the tests that was required of me, including the automated coding test, I never got an interview for over 8 months, the only notification i kept getting was i should update my availability, I even had over 4 years of experience, I'm a senior android engineer.
After completing my profile with all my experiences, no interviews, only for me to find out that my account was reset to the stage of the automated coding challenge, I sent a query about the issue to their support, they said I didn't pass the automated coding challenge 🤕 how?
how was I able to complete my profile with all my experience ?.
I deleted my account immediately after this scenario.
Turing.com is a complete waste of time

Hi, I am Jolomi from Lagos, Nigeria. I work at Turing as a Data Scientist in the
growth team. I focus mainly on analyzing data for decision making and the end goal is to give an
optimal balance between supply and demand. For the 6 months l have been working here, the
culture of the company is what got my attention the most. You take ownership of your work and
mingle with international teams across the globe in the comfort of your own home. Those
seeking for an amazing, unique family Turing is the way to go.

Unfortunately most reviews you find of Turing.com are scam.
They pay people to write the reviews, and I have evidence of this.

They even pay people to downvote/report negative reviews of them. I have plenty of evidence because the people who got paid to report my reviews actually emailed me and told me!

If you wanna know an honest review, just search for it online. Skip the promotional reviews, there are tons of detailed experiences by people who were fleeced.

My advice: if you are desperate, go with them. otherwise, stay away.
