I applied online. The process took 4 days. I interviewed at Taboola in Nov 2024
Interview
I went through a 15-minute phone interview with HR, followed by another 15-minute call with the team leader. Both conversations seemed to go well, and I was hopeful about moving forward. However, after these interviews, I was completely ghosted. No follow-up email, no rejection notice, and no updates despite following up multiple times.
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Taboola (Budapest) in Feb 2025
Interview
They only called me for the phone screen interview, but the quality of the call was so bad that it was really difficult to understand what the recruiter said. After I told them about my professional background, the recruiter explained the position and the company in details.
