One of the better companies

Pros

Great company wide growth, position autonomy, and a solid vision. Love the CEO/leaders and the initiatives.

Cons

I joined more than a year ago and have yet to meet anyone in the company. Really poor amount of PTO (I was surprised at how few days were given). Unless you’re fairly high management level, no stock options. Too many politics stunting growth. Individual countries take their own route and don’t reflect the global culture / initiatives.

We are happy to hear you feel aligned with our leadership, vision, and initiatives. Since the pandemic, we have listened to our employees' need for a fully flexible work approach. Working habits have indeed drastically evolved with more people working from home. In this context, finding ways to maintain a strong sense of belonging between the teams is essential. That is why we regularly promote Feel-Good Initiatives (yoga classes, meditation sessions, bartending lessons, etc.) and other get-togethers like after-works. They are great to meet and bond with people; we invite you to check them out. The Limitless summit we recently organized was very well-received by the community; we hope you had the opportunity to join and enjoy it too. Regarding the lack of synchronization between local entities, the new strategy we announced last year was a real turning point for the company and should help us move forward, all in the same direction.

Thanks for writing this review. It is nice to see you enjoy many aspects of our company culture and industry. As you know, we continuously have to adapt to keep up with our changing industry. That is why, early last year, we announced our objective to become the world’s leading Commerce Media Platform, capitalizing on our strong tech assets and long-standing relationships with retailers. This decision will help us move forward altogether, and be better prepared to meet our business and management goals.

A big company

Recommend
Business Outlook

Pros

- all advantages of a big company (healthcare, stability, interesting projects) - industry leader and innovative - big data structure

Cons

- it depends on people you end up working with (some teams are more remote, others are more always thinking of work up and you may get notifications at 3am, others are more chill and so on). You have to ask with which team you'll end up working and meet them. - some projects may be vowed to failure but as upper management is pushing you have to do it even if you don't believe in it - close to impossible to negotiate the pay outside the evaluation process ; personally I am below what I could get on the market (but I stay for personal reasons) - the matrix and the 360 evaluation system is actually a trap for people that don't especially make friends in the office. You think it helps your progress but for people that have a life after work you don't know a lot of people from work (because work is as you guess it only work) and then during the evaluation process people that make lots of connections have better evaluations - the big data part is kind of a protected kingdom and it is very difficult to enter in it. The idea is that big data is the source of income of Criteo and so the closer you get to that the greater is your power in the company but this is less and less true and other people should be valued as such because at the moment people working in non-big data areas are not valued as much.
