Pros

Like everyone said, there’s plenty of food, games and parties but that’s pretty much it for the pros.

Cons

This company has no value for their employees in office let alone individually within teams and are extremely selective when it comes to growth and recognition. The turnover rate is 1 year... The company took the cheap route and outsourced but didn’t spend enough time/money to give this “new” team the proper training. Certain teams were held onto and used as “guinea pigs” while others were being ramped up to speed just to be thrown away once the company was done. All levels of management need to be revamped as there’s a huge lack of honesty, soft skills and communication as well as long absences with no notice and selectively valuing certain team members over others. Lastly, there’s a huge lack of interdepartmental communication no one ever wants to fix..

Taboola values all employees, and works to provide regular feedback on performance as well as recognize excellent performance. We have a structured performance evaluation system in place, and in addition to regular meetings between employees and managers to discuss performance and goals, we also do two formal reviews annually. Promotions and internal mobility occur at a great frequency, but it came to our attention that they weren’t always formally announced, Which was the impetus for sharing them all with the whole company once per month. In many ways Taboola still functions as a startup, but as a 1400 + growing company, communication between departments is key. We’re always working on improving that communication, and we thank you for your feedback.

Pros

Free food, annual sales conference in a unique location, CEO is very present in day to day operations and interacts with lower level employees. Fantastic group of managers on the media sales and account management teams.

Cons

Majority of the executive team admittedly have zero knowledge of media and are completely unqualified to be in their roles, as they focus almost exclusively on the Publisher side of the business. Over the past year the culture has become toxic in the New York office, driven primarily by a few specific individuals, including the CRO who has a history of making comments that are both offensive and have made many employees feel uncomfortable. Pay is well below industry standard, particularly on the media sales side, which has resulted in a lot of turnover recently.

Pros

Few Intelligent engineers do great job Engineers oriented Free lunch on 2 days Average Healthcare

Cons

- Lots of bureaucracy, egos and favoritism towards some employees - Underqualified people in position and expect engineers to deliver on behalf them. - Favorite employees gets PTOs others doesn't get PTO even though you are eligible to get it leagally. You have to inform 3 months prior to get approved, this is somethig new at this location. - No coding standards and guide lines. - No appreciation for employees who work hard and finish their tasks. - Few talented other employees are unhappy with above, but never report it to higher management. - No career growth as its not big company. My advice is not to consider this company and don't waste your talent herel
