Pros

Taboola is truly filled with some incredible people. There are certain members of the team that move the company forward and exhibit a passion and dedication that is inspiring. Taboola is filled with highly intelligent, very competent people. They care about their employees in a way that is genuine, and doesn't show a phony HR hidden-agenda. The technology is at the cutting edge of a budding industry in adtech, and they have been strategically dominating it. The massive growth is extremely exciting, and seeing the CEO interviewed on Bloomberg, Fox etc. every few months due to massive wins definitely keeps the momentum up. It feels like being a part of something bigger. Taboola is an inspiring place to work.

Cons

During Taboola's massive growth, the hiring criteria seems to have decreased. Pre-explosion, the team was stellar, highly impressive, and extremely dedicated. In times of need, they have settled for decent people who often do the minimum and head home. A "bro" culture is starting to emerge, making harder working employees resentful as they play ping-pong and talk sports most of the day. The person who runs my division has vividly gotten very comfortable as they have been there a while, to the point where most employees question their competency. Respecting leadership should not be undervalued.

Pros

I have worked for many years as an engineer at Perfect Market, which was acquired recently by Taboola. It was great to realize how much of a match the culture, drive and passion that both companies shared making for an excellent acquisition. Working at Taboola now is casual, fun and challenging in a good engineering way. I would probably compare it most to the type of culture and work ethic you would see at companies like Facebook and Google. Light weight management that is very engineering strong making great decision for the company, which make sense. Engineers are driven and passionate on what they do. Culture is casual, motivated and people really do care about each other. Our CEO Adam is not only a great speaker but passionative, driven and very engaged with making our vision happen. As an Engineer I have the ability to work on frontend or backend or both in an agile fashion, which not only keeps me engaged but also sharpens my skill set to new tech. Taboola management works very closely with engineering so ideas can go upward and help shape product direction. It really is a great time to work for Taboola and I would definitely recommend it to any engineers out there that want to make a difference, ramp up their skills and work with a great team.

Cons

The office location in Pasadena is not that ideal as most tech companies are on the westside. However the location is right next to a lot of restaurants, which make it nice at lunch time.

Pros

It's a start up so there is time to carve you're own niche among teams. Everyone is delightful to work with and very motivated. Technology team is constantly innovating.

Cons

Still figuring out their footing in regards to paying sales reps. I agree that it seems frowned upon to leave at 6 but it's a sales office so that is to be expected. However anyone in sales knows that sales is not a 9-5 job.
