Taboola reviews

Taboola has been on a hiring spree this year with most of the US team having been hired just this year. (red flag) However in September 2022 they laid off 6% of the company. The complete lack of foresight planning to hire about 100 new people world wide just to do a mass layoff a couple months later? These are real people with real lives that Taboola is playing with. They really pushed their culture and how great it is but in my experience there is zero culture. I will say its not "toxic culture" if that's better. People keep to themselves in a dimly lit open office. There's no conversations or "cross collaboration" happening anywhere. They even announced they are cutting back millions on marketing and event budgets. So if culture is important to you, it does not exist at Taboola. Finally, product is nothing special, and all competitors offer the same thing. The future is dim here.

- 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
