    I worked at Criteo full-time for more than 3 years

    Pros

    My experience here was nothing but positive. I was at the company for 3 glorious years and, in hindsight, attribute my happiness to the effectiveness of my manager. My manager had TRUST in me. My manager asked me what I needed to better do my job - whether is was more resources, access to a platform, or a day OFF. I was very very lucky to have such an amazing manager. Under this sort of management, I turned nothing... into a LOT. Millions in incremental revenue....and all the praise and recognition that one could hope for. I had an amazing experience here. I worked my a global role and could not have asked for a better group of people to work with...and from all over the world. This was truly my favorite aspect. That I built long last relationships in places like India, South Korea and Spain.

    Cons

    Not everyone was as lucky as me, though. I know a ton of really talented people who left because their managers were terrible. I wish HR was more in-tune and responsive to this...I’m not trying to be critical but if HR paid attention to this, there are certain leaders that would have be ousted a lot sooner. HR asks for feedback on a regular basis so either they don’t take appropriate action based on complaints, or... official complaints aren’t being filed/documented.

    Advice to Management

    A word of advice to HR. Pay closer attention to how employees are reacting to managers, especially when they’re new.

    I have been working at Criteo full-time for more than 3 years

    Pros

    Generally good compensation, individual contributors are generally strong. Excellent office culture

    Cons

    Management tends to add little value and unwilling to go to bat for their teams. Company lives on a "hero" culture where some employees go above and beyond but are not recognized. Product vision is weak at best Poor performers are allowed to stay for far too long Performance Review process is opaque, political, and arbitrary

    Advice to Management

    Help drive product vision and show your teams you support them.
