Pros

Taboola has definitely made a name for itself in the adtech industry, and so it makes a great addition to your resume and will open many doors for you. Stay for just a year, take all that you can, and get the **** out of there.

Cons

Taboola does not care for its employees. It pays the minimum market rate. It has one of the highest turnover rates- across teams, people stay for only a year. There's no company culture at Taboola. Its only aim is to make revenue. HR does not seem to care about retaining employees, but chooses to spend their resources on hiring new folks who eventually become disappointed and leave. Taboola treats their employees like another number that can be easily replaced. Heck, the COO Eldad publicly addressed the entire company during a kickoff as “paychecks”. My friends had to seek help for their mental health because of the stress they’ve endured working at Taboola. Taboola does not care about employees’ individual growth, and you won’t be promoted unless you’re Jewish.

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
