Pros

The colleagues and managers here. Doesn't include leaders for this. Nothing more I can tell unless the local team is great

Cons

The company pull out nearly the whole business out of china suddenly without advance notice and redundancy nearly 75% of office employees at low employment season. And they didn't have the long vision for the market and felt inefficient product roll out

Thank you for your feedback, we really appreciate the input. I’m sorry to hear you were impacted by our decision to refocus our activities in China entirely on our fast growing export business, shifting away from our domestic business. We always try to handle these situations with the care and attention they deserve and we try to redeploy colleagues where possible if and when requirements in our business change. These decisions are never taken lightly and we always consider the impact on our employees. Throughout the process, we have worked closely with the colleagues in China impacted by the change to try and secure alternative roles, both inside and outside of Criteo. From the direct feedback received by the team we feel that although people were understandably disappointed by the decision, the majority of employees understood the business rationale and felt they had been treated fairly and correctly throughout this process. We will take your feedback on board and would like to take the opportunity to thank you for your contribution to Criteo.

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”
