- "Favoritism is a huge issue here, newer employees may find it very difficult or impossible to advance into the roles they're best suited for and the company is very stingy with wages despite the massive revenue numbers that are boasted." (in 8 reviews)

Pros
Taboola's internal culture is unbelievable healthy: people are there for each other to help each other. We truly all work together and achieve our goals together - there is no such thing as a toxic environment as I have experienced in many other Martech companies. Taboola appreciates and rewards it's employees fairly and generously: People are encouraged to to their best, beat records, achieve the impossible and they are recognised, compensated and rewarded accordingly. It's also a company where you are encouraged to be yourself and bring all your singularities as they're seen as the strengths that build our strong/diverse team, regardless of your background, ethnicity etc. and the company is truly committed with diversity and inclusion. We work very hard ,yes, but we also have a lot if fun, have excellent relationships with our clients, with different teams and regions from Taboola around the world, with our leadership, managers, etc. One other thing I really appreciate is Taboola's leadership: it's very transparent and communications flows well: we all know what's going on, and hierarchy exists to have clear ways of working together but from C-level down to bottom line "soldier" people are very approachable and there to help in any way they can. We work together on the challenges and celebrate the successes, and learn and grow together.
Cons
Historically Taboola hasn't been as great at managing under performers as they have been great at managing over achievers - but this has drastically changed.

Pros
Taboola was a great place for me to start my career at. I got exposure to clients and campaigns that I definitely wouldn’t have gotten at larger companies which helped me get very invaluable experience. The biggest pro about Taboola is it’s people management (at least for their account management team). My managers truly cared about my success, both personally and professionally. The culture and perks are very good, especially for a company of it’s size. The pre-pandemic trips to other countries were great and the office perks as well. Your coworkers (like your managers [at least on the account management side]) also were very invested in everyone’s success and were willing to help anyone out at a moments notice. The work life balance was also great. Sure, there are some times where you have fire drills and have to stay on a little late, but overall, you are pushed to sign off when you’re supposed to, use your vacation days, etc. which I greatly appreciated. There are definitely cons, but my experience was overall positive.
Cons
Taboola is a company that is heavily focused on it’s publisher partnerships, and that is where the majority of it’s resources have gone, historically. Because of this, and despite an increase in investment in the media side in 2019, the advertising product is just not where it needs to be for Taboola to achieve it’s growth goals, especially with big six agencies and large enterprise brands. The product is currently made to support what Taboola is unfortunately known for (arbitragers and affiliates), and it can be tough for many large brands to see success on it, from both a logistical perspective and a performance perspective. Taboola’s goal is to be considered a “must buy” in the advertising world, and to be honest I feel like they are still far away from doing that. At least from a product perspective.

Pros
Some of the nicest and most helpful people I've ever worked with. You can approach anyone with questions or ideas, and senior management is very accessible to all Taboolars. The perks are great as well. Not just the breakfast/lunch in the office, but also the swag, bonuses, and events. It's a place where you don't have to ask permission, you can just do.
Cons
You'll probably gain a few pounds thanks to the well-stocked kitchen. It's very fast-paced, so you have to enjoy that kind of environment or you will be quickly overwhelmed.

Pros
A lot of people who leave go to FAANG companies so there is a strong pipeline there. Annual sales conference was the best perk but that has been remote the due to COVID. Hopefully it comes back! There also used to be breakfast, lunch, and drinks in the office. These have all been pulled back.
Cons
Salary is not competitive. Especially if you've been here a couple of years. Only the favorites get raises. Everyone else gets 3%. Come in at a number you're comfortable being at for your entire time here. Also account managers have sales quotas here which is bizarre.
Continue readingThanks for sharing your review of your time at Taboola. We're sorry to hear you've had such a negative experience. We appreciate your thoughtful suggestions for improvement, have you shared them with your manager, HRBP, or team lead? If you haven't, we encourage you to do so. Regarding your comments on compensation; our top performers will be rewarded differently due to our pay for performance model. If you feel you’ve been treated unfairly, please reach out to your HRBP to discuss. Breakfast, lunch, and drinks are still available in the New York office. The pandemic necessitated changes in how we provide these perks, but they are still part of our office culture. If you haven't been in recently, we encourage you to check it out.
