Pros

Used to be a great environment with nice colleagues, good management and satisfactory benefits, but unfortunately that's not the case anymore. Here is why...

Cons

The company is fastly moving away from its people-centric approach to a "revenue over everything else" approach. The higher management is only focused on keeping the company profitable "no matter how" in the recent months, while the HR was already doing an awful job in terms of managing the compansation, providing equal opportunities worldwide, handling the recent layoff situation, and on all other points we need them the most. I'm so upset to see that once a great company like Criteo is now just like any other mediocre company in the market.

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”
