Pros

1. Fully stacked kitchen and new office 2. Brand awareness: everyone knows Taboola because it is everywhere on the web

Cons

1. Culture: very cliquey overall. Executives are all Israelis - they only speak Hebrew in the office. 2. Unclear career progression within the company: managers have no idea how to guide the employees on career progression. Company does not have any structure around this, even the HR. People are concerned about what is next for them. 3. Salary: not at all market competitive. Most people are unhappy with what they make. 4. Inexperienced managers - not enough management trainings are provided to managers so lot of the times they don't know how to "manage" people.

We appreciate the time you took to write this review. It’s true that Taboola has many Israelis in leadership, however not all of our executives are from Israel (about two-thirds are, currently.) We do want to make sure we’re inclusive, and speaking Hebrew around an English speaking office might be undermining that intent and we will use this opportunity to reinforce this message. Providing a clearer career path is a big goal for us, and we’ll continue working to make choices available to employees interested in taking on new challenges, adding more skills and experience. While we believe we have done a good job promoting existing employees to management positions, we do agree it is a challenge as we keep growing at the current pace. The HR team is working to develop a management training plan for all first-time managers as well as advanced and ongoing training for current managers. Thanks again for sharing this feedback, it helps us become better. We wish you the best of luck in your next endeavor.

Pros

1. Generous benefits, pay is not too bad for someone new to the industry. 2. beautiful working space full of food, snacks, drinks, etc 3. Basically, the corporate want to make sure you are comfortable at work and have all the required gadgets 4. CEO is ambitious, highly involved, and actively seeking out new directions for the company instead of sitting on the native market they already dominated

Cons

1. Your personal experiences are highly related to the team you are on. 2. Some managers, who I am not sure if this is a culture or langauge issues, often sound condescending. Whenever you ask questions, instead of providing instruction, they will use rhetorical questions and leave you even more confused. Some like to blow things out of proportion when they disagree with your work. 3. Sending work messages 24/7 for nonurgent issues every day, even if you say 'not expecting you to reply,' is still pressure, especially coming from your direct manager. 4. The company pays hella amount of attention to their online reviews. They have people rolling out a food cart to encourage people leave comments/reviews online. I see this as both good and bad. Good because the employer does care about employee feedback, at least seemingly. Bad because you only need to PR this hard when things are not doing good. 5. Mandatory days at the office are Mon, Tues, and Thursday instead of letting you choose the days. Make you feel like a kindergarten kid when you have such limited freedom for your own schedule. 6. Toxic behaviors are tolerated
