Pros

when management is on Leave

Cons

Working in the support side of Taboola used to be challenging in a good way. Now it’s just exhausting. The current Indian leadership has taken what was once a strong, capable team and turned it into something that feels more like a call center. The new leadership has not been able to prove their worth. Instead of taking responsibility, they keep blaming the team without taking the time to understand what is really going on. There is no effort to look at data or facts. Just assumptions and criticism. This kind of attitude has drained motivation. People feel ignored and unappreciated. Many are looking to leave while others are just doing the minimum to get by. There’s no clarity, no real feedback, and definitely no inspiration from the top.

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
