At PUMA Istanbul, we are committed to creating a lively and inclusive work environment and we offer a wide range of benefits to our employees and celebrate several traditions. Our PUMAs for example enjoy a free gym memberships to promote a healthy lifestyle, and our kitchen area is stocked with seasonal fruits to encourage wellness.
Our team enjoys regular company parties, birthday celebrations with cakes, and festive gatherings during New Year and other special days like International Women’s Day. We actively participate in sports activities, including the Istanbul Running Festival, and host “Cat Talks” where PUMA Assets share their insights. Additionally, we celebrate happy hours together every now and then, where we offer free drinks to our PUMAs to unwind and socialize. Overall, our office is not just a place to work but a lively community where everyone feels included and motivated.
📣 What our Istanbul PUMAs say
Let’s hear it, Istanbul! We spoke with Damla Saltik, P&O Partner, and asked what makes the Istanbul office such a special PUMA location, how they describe the office in three words, and what their best memories are. Here’s what they had to say:
Damla Saltik, P&O Partner:
What makes the Istanbul Office so special?
The Istanbul Office is a vibrant tapestry where Asia meets Europe, infusing our work with a rich cultural mosaic. It’s not just an office; it’s a hub of innovation where the echoes of history inspire our creativity. Here, we spark new ideas, and our tight-knit team feels like family, each member adding a unique thread to our collective vision. In this dynamic city, we don’t just work—we thrive, fueled by an energy that pushes us to redefine boundaries and make an impact.
Describe the office in three words.
Innovative, Collaborative, Inspiring
Your best memories from the office?
One of the best things was when I joined PUMA, I participated and hosted the PUMA Around The World project. I had established a close bond with the PUMAs in my own office and we also worked closely with the Global Team. At that time, I adapted quickly and felt that this place really embraced me.
“For me, PUMA is sports itself rather than a sports brand. Once you join Puma, you are greeted with a work environment full of surprises.”
Simay Karaali, Executive MIS
“I love working at PUMA, where we have a supportive team that helps each other grow, creating a relaxed and happy environment that proves work doesn’t have to be boring.”
Canan Varan, Junior Manager Planning & Allocation
We’re celebrating the vibrant and dynamic spirit of our Istanbul office, where every day is an opportunity to innovate, collaborate, and inspire! 🐾
