Global Parental Leave:
Primary caregivers at Taboola get 6 months (26 weeks) off at full pay. That's your base salary in full, your bonus or commission at a minimum of 80%, and your stock keeps vesting the whole time. Partners get paid leave too, and it grows the longer you're here. Whether you're the mom, dad, or an adoptive parent, the policy is built around who's actually caring for the child, not gender, so every parent is covered the same way.
Leaders can split their leave. Senior Directors and above can break their 6 months into two chunks over the year, so stepping away doesn't mean stepping away all at once. New parents returning to work can work 80% of their hours for the first two months back, while still getting paid in full. Wherever you are, this is a floor, not a ceiling. If local law offers more than what's listed here, you always get the better of the two.
Taboola’s equity program is designed to drive long-term alignment, reward performance, and ensure every Taboolar has a stake in the company’s success.
- Universal Eligibility: Offered to 100% of employees upon hire, with eligibility for additional refresh grants during the Annual Review process.
- Diverse Equity Vehicles:
- Stock Options: Granted with a quarterly, four-year vesting schedule.
- Restricted Stock Units (RSUs): Structured with standard quarterly vesting over four years.
- Performance Stock Units (PSUs): Tied directly to the achievement of company goals.
- Dynamic, Level-Based Value: Initial equity packages are benchmarked to a competitive market median, with grant sizes and annual refreshes customized to the employee's job level and future potential.
- Transparent Administration: Administered entirely through E*TRADE, giving employees full, real-time visibility into their grant values and vesting progress.
- Rigorous Benchmarking: Leadership maintains the program's market value by benchmarking equity targets against premium industry surveys (like Mercer), reviewing grants during standard performance and market cycles, and openly sharing the company's equity philosophy.
Taboolars highly value the program due to its large grant sizes, transparent vesting, and the opportunity to build substantial long-term wealth via annual refresh awards. The program’s impact is highlighted by stock rewards in high-impact hiring packages regularly exceeding $10,000 over four years, alongside internal employee stories showing that equity is a primary driver for long-term retention.
In 2025, Taboola reported that 87% of employees said they were satisfied with their benefits; 70% of employees rated perks as better than industry average;
Leadership reinforces this by:
- Benchmarking plans and perks annually against market data.
- Reviewing employer contributions each year.
- Soliciting employee feedback on perks and benefits.
- Publishing a plain-English benefits guide & offering Q&A sessions during open enrollment.
- Auditing vendors to ensure quality and accessibility.
Additional signals include high benefits or perks-satisfaction scores in employee surveys, strong 401(k) participation rates, wellness program participation, Built In coverage highlighting benefits and perks, and positive Glassdoor reviews often referencing Taboola's benefits and perks.
Taboola Employee Perspectives
Our global Sales Club winners wrapped up a well-earned, unforgettable getaway in Mauritius, and the photos would have anyone beaming from ear to ear just scrolling through them. From five-star hospitality to catamaran days spent relaxing and connecting under the East African sun, Sales Club 2026 was nothing short of a dream.
But behind the energy and joyous smiles are months of focus, excellence, and breakthrough—specifically, tons of hard work spent helping our clients realize their own growth and potential. More than a trip, the Taboolars who spent three gorgeous days at the One&Only Le Saint Géran resort are sharing their reflections on what this recognition means to them and their Taboola experience:
What is the Taboola Sales Club?
Our annual sales club is our way of celebrating the people across Sales, Account Management, and SDRs who went above and beyond in the past year. The competition is fierce, and the final winners are revealed live on stage at our annual Sales Kickoff (SKO) events in Madrid, Bangkok, and Chicago.
Because a standard bonus can only say so much, Sales Club is built to reward that relentless, year-long drive with a truly unforgettable experience. By bringing top talent from different global offices to an exotic destination, it lets Taboolars completely disconnect, build strong global networks, collaborate, and form real friendships that outlast the trip itself. Publicly honoring our winners doesn’t just celebrate where they’ve been—it inspires the healthy competition and cross-functional teamwork that keeps our whole organization growing.
It’s also a huge reason why we are consistently named a Great Place to Work. As our winners share below, it’s not just about the trip, it’s about working somewhere that actually notices and values your effort.
Dafna Hazan, Advertising Sales Team Lead
“The most memorable part was having the chance to spend several days with people I normally only interact with through Slack or during busy work meetings. Sales Club brought together top performers from different teams, offices, and functions, and it was amazing to build real relationships outside of our day-to-day work. One of my favorite moments was sitting together at dinner and hearing everyone’s stories—how they got to Taboola, the challenges they overcame, and what drove them to achieve their results. It reminded me of the talent and passion across the company and made me feel even more connected to the people behind the success.
Last year, together with the CEE and IL Growth team, we delivered $6.5M in new business revenue against a $4M target, and while I’m incredibly proud of that result, what makes it meaningful is knowing how much effort went into getting there. There were plenty of challenges, long days, and moments where we had to push beyond expectations. Being recognized alongside so many talented colleagues was both rewarding and motivating. It reinforced that exceptional results don’t go unnoticed at Taboola, and it inspired me to keep raising the bar—for myself, for my team, and for what we can achieve together.”
Gili Malinovich, Sr. Programmatic Account Manager
“One of my favorite moments happened on the very last day of the trip. A group of us from different teams, countries, and backgrounds attempted a giant stand-up paddleboard session. It sounded like a great idea in theory, but in reality, it was chaos. Every time someone tried to stand up, half the group fell into the water. At one point, we attempted a human pyramid, which lasted about two seconds before everyone crashed. We were laughing so hard the entire time that it felt more like a comedy show than a team activity.
What made this experience meaningful was that feeling of being appreciated. One morning, I woke up early, stepped out onto the balcony, and watched the sunrise over the water. Everything was quiet except for the sound of the waves, and it was one of those moments where you stop and take it all in. It made me think about all the late nights, early mornings, weekend calls, and hard work that went into earning this experience. More than the trip itself, it reminded me how lucky I am to work at a place that genuinely recognizes and celebrates effort.”
Emily Xing, Sr. Advertising Sales Manager
“Even though we all came from different regions, meeting in person felt surprisingly natural and warm. One of the most memorable parts of the trip was how we naturally looked out for each other. Whether it was making sure no one was left behind during outings, waiting for teammates, or simply sharing good food and recommendations, those small moments really made me feel the strong connection within the team.
As someone in sales, this experience reinforced something very meaningful to me: hard work truly pays off. This reward represents more than just recognition. It’s encouragement, validation, and motivation, reminding me that the effort we put in every day is seen and appreciated, and it inspires me to keep pushing forward and striving for even greater results.”
Victor Walker, Advertising Account Manager, Growth
“Everyone knows I was captivated by Charlotte, the Grey Crowned Crane, a resident on the resort. It was a joy to find Charlotte roaming the premises each day. Our day at the RIVA was perfect for making connections and building friendships. Lunch, drinks, volleyball, and antics at the private pool!
I’m nothing short of grateful to be recognized for my own accomplishments, but I‘m even more appreciative of the opportunity to spend time with such a remarkable cast of professionals from around the globe.”
