Pros

- Good place to learn and develop at an entry level - Cool office - Work life balance (job isn't that hard) - Great if you're trying to chill

Cons

- Compensation is ~50% below market and impossible to renegotiate - No visibility or input into promotion process - Easy to coast, difficult to find new challenges - Incredibly high turnover (90% in 1 year on the team I was hired onto) Company has made a clear decision to prioritize "culture" as in parties, office spending, SKO over investment in HR resources, career pathing, and fair compensation. High turnover is a direct correlation. When I confronted management about this dynamic, I was told that I was correct - under paying and constant employee churn is the company strategy, and that it's been working so far

Thank you for taking the time to write this. Reading negative feedback is never easy, but we appreciate it as it helps us continue to improve. As a practice, we revisit global compensation trends each year to determine salaries. In 2019, a whopping 33% of Taboolars (global) had new roles via promotion, or moving laterally to different teams. Globally, our attrition numbers are below industry average. We value each and every member of our team, and we always maintain open communication on an ongoing basis. We thank you so much for the time you spent with us, and we wish you the best in the future.

Pros

Nice culture: smart people, relaxed about how people manage their responsibilities, open door policy with management. Industrious and hard working without pressure or people checking what time others are coming and going — so refreshing. The company spends freely on making office life comfortable and happy. They also invest heavily in training, & professional development. Want to fly cross country for a week of face time with a team you collaborate with in a different office? Easiest approval ever, flights, hotels and all. The product, engineers, data, AI... very solid. It’s not google or Facebook, but outside of FAANG this the most credible player out there in terms of tech assets in hand. Bottom line: they’re chill, smart, and have a good product. Nice place to work.

Cons

Base pay could be higher, but it’s livable and not below market, just not at the top of market either. Commission structure is a little funky, but I’ve never been anywhere where it was fantastic and beloved by the people in sales roles.
