Criteo Employee Reviews about "great benefits"

Pros

Criteo’s compensation is amongst some of the highest in the industry. Benefits are great. Workplace team tries hard to keep us all afloat with events every so often.

Cons

The people are toxic (especially those who’ve been at the company for a few years). They’re put into management positions with NO experience outside of Criteo. Needless to say, these individuals make terrible manager because they don’t take the time to teach you anything because in their minds you should already know everything they know. Stress levels are through the roof across all sides of the business. There is so much pressure to rake in revenue. Constant reorgs and the company’s products don’t align with one another as some are in fact competing with one another. Criteo is severely understaffed and many people have left the company in the past few months due to this issue which is leaving Criteo even more understaffed. With holidays right around the corner, I’m not sure what to expect.

Pros

Forward looking company Great employee benefits Working with smart co-workers WFH

Cons

Remote work - might be harder to interact with colleagues physically

Pros

Amazing people culture (more of a family than a workspace). Worker benefits are great.

Cons

Low salaries compared to the market. The entrepreneurial spirit that once characterized the company was lost due to change in management.

Pros

- great team work environment - global annual summit - perks at the office (manipedis, massages, snacks...) - great benefits package - awesome management team

Cons

- pressure may be overwhelming sometimes, but common to sales areas

Pros

Great benefits for US employees. General culture of respect for time off (due to it being a French Company). Really interesting and valuable experience working at a truly international company.

Cons

Frenetic energy of a start up + lack of transparency, tons of red-tape and endless politicking = exhausting environment where very little meaningful work gets done. I honestly lost count of the number of times I was asked to do something not-strategic and/or frankly non-sensical for “optics”. This environment where politicking and infighting reigns supreme there is so much wasted talent and even perhaps worse - I’ve seen multiple humble and eager employees slowly fade to resigned, jaded and gossipy. The lack of leadership and autonomy for execution really wore down a lot of people. Also workplace bullies have been consistently promoted so long as they are well connected. I don’t think that this is consistent across the entire organization but there are large pockets where this is true. My advice to anyone considering working for Criteo - be really thorough with interviewing potential managers and peers and if you have any red flags - honor them they are most likely valid and picking up on a toxic situation. That said, if you don’t have any red flags and your potential team seem well rested happy and productive then go for it you may have found a great pocket of the company (they def exist)! The other major issue with Criteo is it’s downright pitiful show of DEI. Pre 2020 there was absolutely none and even refusal by leadership to share diversity statistics. Post 2020 there are now some weak attempts that feel very much like playing lip service without any commitment to organizational change. It’s also a disturbingly homogenous workforce in the US offices. I personally sat through so many cringe “diversity” programs by well meaning but utterly clueless white people. DEI leadership hire is inexplicably a white woman?! The lack of self awareness by the Company at this point is honestly inexcusable.

Pros

A great family of products. Pay is competitive. Benefits are great. Office culture is impeccable. Public company with the vibe of a start-up. Beautifully designed offices. Frequent lunches, monthly themed parties at the rooftop bar. The company summit in France was truly flabbergasting. They invest generously in their employees and understand that workplace experience leads to stronger employee performance.

Cons

None that I can think of.

Pros

Open and friendly environment where everyone can freely talk and express themselves. Lots of freedom to choose your own actions aside from your own daily workload. Loaded with food, drinks and team bonding activities. Great employee benefits & insurance policies. Yearly vacation to France for the whole company!

Cons

With the given freedom, sometimes you might feel lost and not sure what to do with your time. Lots of self initiation and independence is required. My boss and most of my team is in a different country so that's very apparent.

Pros

- amazing people - Megan Clarken is a transparent, authentic and empathetic CEO - great benefits for employees - generally great working atmosphere

Cons

- Mid Market Sales Organisation Managers are very unstructured, missing a clear vision and support for employees

Pros

- Great pay & benefits - Supportive team - Dynamic, fast-paced working environment - Transparency, constant communication from upper-level management - Clearly defined goals/vision - Collaborative, supportive co-workers with a strong emphasis on building a strong team culture

Cons

- Constant innovation can seem overwhelming at times, but if you enjoy a fast-paced, dynamic environment, this is the place for you.

Pros

I could enumerate an endless list of positive things about Criteo: - The atmosphere and work culture is absolutely incredible - You receive many benefits (and they are great!) - You are empowered and encouraged to make an impactful contribution and become the best version of yourself - There is an open communication policy in which you can easily share your ideas, thoughts, etc

Cons

- Perhaps, the could consider the unlimited vacation policy that some other pioneers have started to implement (Lyft, Uber, Zendesk...etc)
