Pros

Great perks- killer parties, stocked fridges, swag , etc. Growing fast- feels good to win, and win often. Smart people who are happy to share knowledge- lots of learning opportunities. Transparent about goals, financials, and plans for the future, makes you feel like you have real skin in the game.

Cons

If you want to get ahead expect to work 24/7. Lots of politicking and jockey-ing for attention in the mid and lower ranks. A big chunk of the exec team (VP and up) are a clique-y boys club with the maturity of children. They hold grudges, play favorites, and can’t handle smart ambitious or opinionated women.

Thanks for taking the time to share your thoughts -- it is invaluable for us to receive real feedback like this as we continue to grow. We appreciate that you have taken the time to acknowledge Taboola’s transparency and open communication. We believe both of these practices, as well as open debate are an intricate part of our culture. Taboola strives to be an inclusive company, where everyone feels welcomed and heard. Not listening to smart, ambitious and opinionated people of any gender is plain bad business and we are committed to ensuring that no one at Taboola feels unheard. We would encourage employees experiencing any of these behaviors to speak up to their managers and/or to HR so that this can be addressed in real-time.

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
