    Mixed feelings - Good company to stay less than 2-3 years

    Dec 9, 2019 - Account Strategist in Barcelona
    Recommend
    CEO Approval
    Business Outlook

    Pros

    - Good perks: salary, lunch card, massage, holidays, the view... - Great team mates to work with; good talents (even if less and less over the years) It's easy to have fun every day thanks to your colleagues! - No micro-management - if you are senior enough - Trainings and personal development - Good chances to develop your knowledge in the Adtech industry - International environment - The right place to develop yourself if you have good energy - Healthy work-life balance - Gender equality (yes, that is something Criteo is really good at!)

    Cons

    - Middle Management can vary from one team to another. Some are very nice to work with, others make employees leave the company. They are the major part. People Experience are aware of it, through the Managers survey etc. nevertheless no concrete action taken, neither notes taken during the final interview. It makes me wonder if this is something taken seriously... - They expect you to overachieve with less capacity over the years. The new motto seems to be: do more with less. When you have a large client portfolio, and one thing goes wrong, Team Leads don't understand you don't deliver the same Top Service they deliver in Large Customers when having 10x more clients. Unless you work 10x times more, it's technically impossible. Expectations from Account Strategists should be clearer and risks should be evaluated by managers before reducing resources, thus before blaiming commercial teams. - Politics are high, I guess that's what you should expect when joining a big company. Something you need to consider before signing.

    You've really taken the time to give a detailed review and we want to thank you for that and your contribution during your tenure at Criteo. We assure you that the feedback in surveys and exit interviews is taken seriously and we work hard to find a balance between creating opportunities for advancement and ensuring that individuals promoted into manager roles have the right training and development to be effective leaders. We pride ourselves on having a strong feedback culture so we encourage all of our employees to give feedback to their manager, their people partner or even the business function leader. We're rolling out a new performance management and development plan in 2020 which will make it easier for people to get the right feedback and support at the right time. There's always things to improve but we're also proud of many of the pros that you outline here. We wish you all the best of luck with your new path.

We consider ourselves at the forefront of our industry and we're therefore more interested in measuring our success against our business objectives.

    Excellent pay but a party culture that's highly political

    Jul 9, 2017 - Anonymous Employee 
    Recommend
    CEO Approval
    Business Outlook

    Pros

    - Above average pay and willing to give huge bumps when leaving other companies. - Great spirit in taking on the competition and a lot of people are very knowledgeable about the industry. - Flexibility and ability to travel, depending on what team you're on. - Company is small enough to be able to still see your impact.

    Cons

    - For the most part terrible middle management. Tendency to promote people who have the most seniority versus the most qualified people for the job. Limited oversight for managers so it's easy to get away with stuff. - Culture is extremely hard partying, especially at the summit. Those who don't rage can feel out of place. - HR is not a trusted partner and will not take action where they should. - Good basic benefits but limited travel policy and no lunch on a regular basis. - French culture permeates even when working in America. - No surprise in tech but it's a boys club.

    VP, HR Business Partners

    Hello, thank you for your feedback. Glad to see your comments about our strong spirit and ability to have impact. We're also equally concerned about your comments particularly with regard to middle management, and that you didn't feel able to raise your concerns with HR. This is incredibly important to us that we are able to explore further. If you feel more comfortable raising any of your concerns with our senior leadership, or with a different HRBP, or via the ethics hotline, please do. In whatever format you feel comfortable, it's most important that we are able to capture your concerns and look into them further. Best, HR

    We're glad you're enjoying the working environment, along with the perks and benefits we offer at Criteo.
