Pros

Good integration especially when you come from outside Spain Friendly people aged 25 - 35 yo Cultural diversity Lot of personal-time (everyone is gone from the office at 6pm)

Cons

- Unexperienced management: lack of transparancy and rationality when taking organisational decisions , do not receive and apply feedbacks, low level of knowledge regarding their markets and sales methodology - No career path - Low internal promotions - No inspirational leadership - Lack of employees protection: people dismissed within 2 hours notice, psychological strains (HR convocations without subject notice), temporal dissmissal for invalid reason regarding law (example: you broke the elevator screen and we've seen that in camera)

Thank you for taking the time to give us feedback. We believe that our team members are at the heart of what we are at Criteo, and our international and dynamic team members make us unique. We focus on bringing in both external hires who bring outside expertise, skills, and experience, as well as creating internal opportunities for appointment to roles in management. We work hard to ensure those who are in our manager roles have the right training and development to be effective leaders. This includes a focus on creation of a coaching and development culture. In our New Business organization we’ve been working to create a clearer career path for our team members to build and grow their career at Criteo, and we know we can always do better. We aim to take fair people decisions, and have open feedback conversations as well as manage the performance of our team members in a consistent way, and where transitions occur, we aim to do so with fairness and integrity.

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”
