Our Greatest Strength at STM
Our People
As STM, we believe that our greatest strength lies in the dedication of our employees and the company culture we build together. Guided by this belief, we cultivate a transparent and inclusive communication environment through our “Open Door” meetings, ensuring that every voice is heard. We also foster stronger team bonds through on-site technical visits organized across our different locations.
While we recognize and reward employee achievements through various appreciation programs, we also strengthen engagement through our internal communication platforms, STM Life and STM Bulletin, where we celebrate special occasions and share key company updates.
Within our Employee Communication and Motivation (ÇİM) Team, groups such as “ÇİM Volunteers,” “ÇİM Dynamic,” “ÇİM Gourmet,” and “ÇİM Culture & Arts” bring our people together through meaningful and vibrant activities. Through this spirit of collaboration, we continue building a more productive, inspiring, and sustainable future together.
Flexible Hours for a Happier Work Life!
With STM’s flexible working hours model, employees who complete their monthly working time can freely plan their schedules outside of core hours, without the requirement of being in the office.
Working Hours & Flex-Time Model
Ankara Offices: Weekdays, 09:00 – 18:00
Istanbul & Gölcük Offices: Weekdays, 08:00 – 17:00
We believe that a healthy work-life balance directly contributes to productivity. That’s why we embrace a Flex-Time Working Model across STM, empowering our people to manage their time in a way that suits both their professional and personal needs.
Fringe Benefits
Leave Policy
In addition to the leave entitlements defined by the Labor Law, STM offers 54 hours of excused leave, as well as dedicated leave options for employees pursuing Master’s, PhD, or post-doctoral studies.
We also provide a Birthday Leave, which can be used either on the employee’s birthday or anytime within the month following it.
Private Health Insurance
Our employees are our strength and their families are theirs.
With this understanding, we offer a comprehensive private health insurance plan that covers not only our employees but also their spouses and children.
Transportation
Depending on office location, our employees benefit from either shuttle services or transportation allowances, making daily commuting more convenient and accessible.
Meals
Based on the office location, STM offers breakfast, lunch, and dinner options on-site or provides a meal card system to support employees throughout the workday.

ÇİM (Employee Relations & Motivation) Team
Guided by the mottos “We Can Achieve It Together” and “Who Understands Us Better Than Us?”, the ÇİM Team is made up of motivated, proactive, and volunteer employees from across STM.
Bringing together representatives from different departments, this team contributes to our organization not only through their professional capabilities but also through their strong interpersonal and collaborative skills. By continuously transforming employee ideas and suggestions into meaningful actions, the ÇİM Team plays a vital role in strengthening STM’s culture of continuous improvement.
Communication and Motivation Activities
To enhance employee motivation, engagement, and connection across STM, we organize a wide range of events both within and outside the city that promote learning, teamwork, collaboration, and overall well-being.
