Pros

Cool workspace and office perks. Extravaganza office outings. Plenty of company-branded swag. Fun colleagues.

Cons

Low salaries for NYC. Less than 3% of management is female or a person of color. High turnover; minimum of 4 people leaves on quarterly basis. Disorganized and poor project/product knowledge management.

Thank you for your review. We read and consider all feedback from our employee engagement surveys, to Glassdoor reviews, and even better - from in person meetings - and I hope you were able to provide this feedback in person so we can continually improve. The diversity of senior leadership is something we are working on improving with each new hire to the executive team. Additionally, we’re making sure other levels of leadership in Taboola see that type of diversity. Positions like country managers, team leaders and directors, these will be the future executives of Taboola too. Today, 35% of our managers globally are female. We’re working on creating a balanced, inclusive group of people across all levels of the organization and hope to be able to show improvement on those numbers over time. Taboola is continually offering professional development and looking for opportunities to do more for our employee base. While we never want to lose anyone that we have invested time and energy into training and developing, our turnover rate is very low when compared to industry averages, less than 10% a year, while industry average tends to hover around 25%.

Pros

1. Generous benefits, pay is not too bad for someone new to the industry. 2. beautiful working space full of food, snacks, drinks, etc 3. Basically, the corporate want to make sure you are comfortable at work and have all the required gadgets 4. CEO is ambitious, highly involved, and actively seeking out new directions for the company instead of sitting on the native market they already dominated

Cons

1. Your personal experiences are highly related to the team you are on. 2. Some managers, who I am not sure if this is a culture or langauge issues, often sound condescending. Whenever you ask questions, instead of providing instruction, they will use rhetorical questions and leave you even more confused. Some like to blow things out of proportion when they disagree with your work. 3. Sending work messages 24/7 for nonurgent issues every day, even if you say 'not expecting you to reply,' is still pressure, especially coming from your direct manager. 4. The company pays hella amount of attention to their online reviews. They have people rolling out a food cart to encourage people leave comments/reviews online. I see this as both good and bad. Good because the employer does care about employee feedback, at least seemingly. Bad because you only need to PR this hard when things are not doing good. 5. Mandatory days at the office are Mon, Tues, and Thursday instead of letting you choose the days. Make you feel like a kindergarten kid when you have such limited freedom for your own schedule. 6. Toxic behaviors are tolerated
