Pros

Global brand recognition Modern office space and flashy perks Free Food Exposure to international teams

Cons

Once Indian management stepped in, everything started going downhill. Here’s how it really works: Promotions and raises are less for normal employees and good if you're part of someone's inner circle Freshers with 1–3 years of experience are hired in bulk cheap labor, no real mentorship Decisions are made to impress foreign stakeholders, not to actually improve operations or culture Transparency is a joke. People at the top paint a pretty picture while squeezing teams for every ounce of output Toxic hierarchy. Voices from the ground are ignored. Managers kill any initiative that threatens their control Good people leave, and they’re replaced by yes-men or clueless juniors Everything looks good on PowerPoint, but the day-to-day? Disorganized and demotivating

Pros

Taboola offers an exceptional culture, great people, and outstanding perks. It's the kind of place where you build genuine friendships, not just professional relationships. No matter which office you work from, you'll find yourself well taken care of, with a wide range of benefits, activities, and resources available to employees.

Cons

Processes can sometimes feel disorganized as the company continues working toward greater global alignment and standardization. Additionally, strategic priorities and directions can change frequently, which may create uncertainty at times.
