Stressful and not worth it

Recommend
Business Outlook

Pros

The job is okay as a stepping stone and certainly provides you with experiences, but I don’t see a quality future here for anyone. I would rate this company lower if I could.

Cons

The sales team quite honestly feels like a Highschool. The managers are not trained for their positions, they are in the positions because they joined Criteo at a time when Criteo prospered and “proved” themselves when all it took was spamming clients into oblivion. They do not know how to offer advice, they will only look out for themselves, and have on many occasions said things that should have been cause for HR reprimands. But hey, that’s just sales. This job causes undue stress and they will encourage you to work overtime and will reward the most nonsensical luck as if it were proven strategy. There are better jobs out there but if you’re in a pinch the benefits are great and the pay is decent. The name isn’t too bad on a resume either

Pros

Very cool working environment - events - day to day workplace experiences; Top work-life balance, not a lot of pressure; Pay is above market level, which gets people to stay and not really question themselves on how they perform and on how they can improve; Brilliant minds from all over the world but also....

Cons

...a toxic culture that has quickly spread thanks to low motivated and/or frustrated people that have been there for years and do not want/like to be challenged and to step out of their little comfort zone; Close to no meritocracy, and lots (lots) of politics; Company culture isn't clear and doesn't correspond to what is being displayed on the marketing / employer branding side - rarely will you meet that much close-mindedness; Management is highly questionable - you begin to wonder for some if they have been trained or guided to embrace those roles

Thank you for sharing your thoughts about your experience working at Criteo. Hopefully you have had a chance to read our recent communications about improvements to our performance management process aimed at ensuring a fair measure of performance. The appointment of our new CEO, Megan Clarken, provides the ‘shake-up’ you call for and our new company values, developed using a ‘bottom-up’ approach, will be launched early in 2020. We are building a refreshed identity and renewed determination to be the leading advertising platform for the open internet and, even more importantly, an employer of choice. Denis Collin, EVP People

good salary/ bad management

Anonymous employee

Business Outlook

Pros

-quite good salary and benefits

Cons

-very unprofessional management that goes completely unchecked -the promotion path is very unclear, favourites are being promoted or people who stayed the longest. Most of the managers were moved from London office, they are there the longest but very often skills are missing -internal communication in the company is very bad -more and more juniors are being hired, as they are easier to manage -all in all is a one product company, after 6 months you stop learning
