      Lots of Energy and Great People

      Software engineer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      - Very fast paced with lots of learning - Great culture with great people who want you to succeed - It feels like a startup, which means you can impact the product at a high level - Good work-life balance - Immediately get to contribute to the product (even as an intern or junior engineer) - Use cutting edge technologies to solve big data and machine learning problems

      Cons

      The startup culture (fast pace, learning on the job, etc.) is not for everyone, so be sure that's the type of work you want!

      High stake challenges and projects, in a fun environment

      Software engineer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      From the first day you join, you're going to be involved in high stake and big impact projects. Because of the skyrocket trajectory of the company, you end up working across many timezones and offices (LA, NYC, TLV, London, Bangalore, Bangkok, etc.), as well as dealing with international (Germany, UK, Japan, Korea, Mexico, France, etc) and big names customers and partners in the Industry. Taboola R&D uses the latest technologies (ReactJS, NodeJS, Spark, Kibana, Cassandra, BigQuery, etc.) so as an engineer, this is the dream job when you want to get your hands on real life use cases! Many Taboola R&D teams also follow Scrum and pushes you to deliver quick-to-market and production-ready increments of your projects. There's never a dull moment! TL;DR - If you are scientifically curious, you love solving complex puzzles, you enjoy working in a fun team, and you are not afraid of new technologies, come join our Taboola R&D team! PS: there's also catered food, free drinks, ping pong, outing/activities, hackathon, meet up

      Cons

      This is a challenging environment, people will question your decisions so it's important that you can articulate your thoughts. You're also typically part of a team, and if you're doing great, you will be moved to other teams to broaden your knowledge of the technology stack, so you could be involved in front end and middle layer technologies! At times, it will feel like a mountain of work to do in a short amount of time, but you're here to learn to be more efficient, better manage your time and priority, and work as a team. Commute time is bad but this is LA, so little we can do /shrugs

      Thanks for the feedback! We believe in letting our engineers impact major projects from the start, I’m glad you find that fun (some might find it scary). I hope you know that (mostly) people aren’t questioning your decision as much as they are making sure their their voices are heard.

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      - the team is top notch and really cares about shipping great products - get to use the latest technology stacks and contribute to them when need be - huge amount of big data and network reach provide for fun engineering problems - office location has view of all of LA and is near many restaurants downtown - interns and new hires get to work on production code - company trajectory and drive is an unbelievable rocket ship - fun to work at (internal hackathons, free food, great people and challenges)

      Cons

      - large difference in timezones between offices is a bit of a challenge. - being centralized in DTLA means most will have 30-45 min minimum of commute time

      Thanks so much for the positive words. The hackathon was fun! Yep, you’re right that time is challenge, but the LA team is sooooo worth it.
