Pros

-great people -free breakfast -amazing health benefits -good product

Cons

Well where do I begin? Two years ago Criteo was a different company. The company truly embraced "go go go" and you felt that you work for a true innovative and strong organized company. Now.... The company has abandoned their "quality over quantity" policy and have changed it to "quantity over quality". Hey, if you can hire people for the half price just because they've barely tasted the corporate world.. why not? Want a promotion? you better be best friends with the manager, oh and make sure you start a bunch of meaningless projects so that upper management sees you. Want a senior position? Got a french passport? Hey, let's just raise everyone's target when over 50% of sales reps can't reach their current target.. makes sense, right? The company begs for feedback from their employees almost on a weekly basis. you'd expect things to change and for the feedback to be taken seriously, right? WRONG.

Thanks for taking the time to give us your feedback. Criteo recognises that we have amazing talent who have helped to drive us to where we are today. We also continue to transform the business, and are excited about 2019 as we have a clear vision for the future of Criteo, as well as within Mid-Market. The Leadership team in Barcelona, as well as our People team, continuously work to implement initiatives based on employee feedback through company-wide surveys as well as through local listening sessions. We strive to roll out new programs tailored to improve our team members’ experience based on that feedback. We also work to ensure opportunities for internal roles are fair and open to all, and that we have diverse perspectives at all levels at Criteo. If you’d like to discuss your feedback in more detail, I will absolutely make time to listen. You can send me an email directly to s.chindalur@criteo.com. Thank you. Regards, Shruthi Chindalur – Regional Managing Director, EMEA MM

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”
