Pros

-Great place to work (nice offices, nice locations etc.) -Friendly environment (young, dynamic teams) -Interesting topics going on in the industry at the moment -Polyvalent job as account strategist -Nice perks such as ticket restaurant (165€/month on top of the salary) -Good soft skills development opportunities (trainings etc)

Cons

-The company is not growing since two years, therefore promotions opportunities are quite limited. -Moreover the time spent at the company in a certain position is often more important than the performance/potential of employees in the attribution of promotions. i.e. Between an employee A doing a good job and in a position since 2 years and an employee B doing an amazing job and in the same position since 1 year, the employee A will get the promotion. -While I believe processes are important in a 3 000 people company, some processes that are in place at Criteo can slow us down and are not always necessary. Some efforts are made in removing the useless processes though.

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”
