A welcomed Taboolar from day 1
“When you join the company, you are made to feel welcome.” 97% of Taboolars confirmed this is their reality, and we’re more than proud of that. Whether you’re joining our R&D hub in Taipei or our sales team in London, our goal is for every new hire to feel like a member of the team before they even finish their first coffee.
New joiners often tell us that their first days, weeks, and interview experiences at Taboola are some of the kindest and warmest, with colleagues near and far making the ease of starting a new job comfortable, approachable, and encouraging.
Show up authentically
“People here are treated fairly regardless of their sexual orientation, age, race, & gender.” Building an inclusive culture of belonging is about making sure Taboola is a place where you don’t have to hide who you are to be successful. Here, you’re empowered to speak up, share your ideas, challenge the status quo, and bring your talents, hobbies, perspectives, and life experiences outside of work, with you each day. When more voices participate, better decisions happen—and when everyone feels they belong, we all win.
Workspaces built for well-being
“Our facilities contribute to a good working environment” and “This is a physically safe place to work.” Safety at Taboola means more than just a secure office; it’s the peace of mind that comes from working in an environment designed for well-being, comfort, and ease. Our offices are in some of the most iconic cities in the world, but we’ve intentionally designed them to support the “human” part of the workday:
- Collaborative hubs: From open, collaborative spaces designed for brainstorming and spontaneous connection to ergonomic setups, and quiet zones for deep, focused work.
- Fuel for the day: In our major hubs, Taboolars enjoy a daily breakfast spread, while all global offices offer daily lunch credits or catered meals, meaning one less thing to worry about during a busy week.
- Comfort and connection: Beyond desks and huddle rooms, many Taboola offices feature game rooms, wellness areas, gender-neutral restrooms with complimentary hygiene products, and stocked kitchens that serve as the “social heart” of our culture.
Recharging with flexible time off (FTO)
“I am able to take off time from work when I think it’s necessary.” Taboola’s (FTO) is built on a foundation of mutual trust. Life happens, and whether you need a mental health day, have a planned family trip, or need an afternoon to handle personal errands, Taboolars are given the autonomy and trust to manage their own schedules, ensuring everyone has the space they need to recharge. When you’re trusted to own your time, you’re naturally more invested in the work you do.
These awards are just a reflection of the environment our Taboolars create for each other every single day. We’re proud of our “Great Place to Work” badge, but we’re even prouder of the people who make Taboola a place where you can show up, be yourself, and do your best work.
