Pros

The culture and benefits are great, and the company is very inclusive to everybody. You can choose if you want to work from home or the office, and the offices are always top notch. Very smart people are working in Criteo and it’s nice to be part of it.

Cons

As the C-levels are super professional and smart, the intermediate and lower levels of leadership are SO bad. If you need anything which is a bit out of the box for your clients, no one will give you a hand or answers. In my team we had a 30 minute weekly team meeting plus 30 minutes of one-to-one with the team leader and that’s it, if you need anything else the managers will give you the feeling that you are nudging them and wasting their time. Growing within the company is almost impossible, both horizontally and vertically. There is an inner company system for career development but the fact is that it’s impossible to grow because so many positions were switched to temporary internships contracts, kicking out the permanent staff in order to bring a cheap workforce to be changed every 6-9 months.

Pros

Smart, hardworking people at the individual contributor level (many of whom are now gone). Little micro-managing, but that’s because everyone’s bandwidth is near 0

Cons

Post–new CEO, the company has descended into complete chaos. There is no transparency around decisions that impact teams and roles. There have been consistent strategy, personnel, and supplier changes with no explanation, accountability, or follow-through. Cons, continued: Employee input and performance do not matter. Decisions feel driven by appeasing BoD and optics rather than results, input and reality. The culture has become a corporate hellscape of: Endless reorganizations with no clear rationale, including layoffs with no reasoning Vague all-hands meetings that avoid real issues, even when directly asked A massive disconnect between the C-suite and day-to-day reality Eroded trust and growing position insecurity Middle managers incentivized to prioritize managing up & executive optics over team advocacy “Return to Office” policy put in place when promised a “Work from Anywhere” position, where the RTO policy differs across employees’ location Little to no growth opportunities despite high performance Under-market average compensation that was justified by locale, “Work from Anywhere”, and flexibility — which was recently rolled back A clear favoritism to those that “talk the talk” vs “performance with numbers”
