A few years ago I would recommend Taboola to anyone. Today I would say to avoid it at all costs.

Pros

Non-upper-management employees are amazing people to work with

Cons

Upper management has become soulless and chase after each and every FAANG trend imaginable Compensation is bad Perks that made lower compensation fine have slowly been taken away Forced AI usage (it is frowned upon to spend any time coding instead of just prompting everything)
