Hello there, thanks for the four stars and taking the time to highlight some of the benefits that we offer. We're sorry to hear that you feel that you did not find a work/life balance that suits you here at Criteo, and we encourage you to take more advantage of the initiatives that we have put in place to support employees. We are really focusing on encouraging employees to maintain a healthy rhythm, with corporate communication encouraging employees to take break, the recent launch of company Quiet Days to reduce meeting fatigue, feelgood initiatives by Workplace (talks, sports sessions, and so on) or if you feel like you might need it, an external psychological support with professionals sponsored by Criteo. We appreciate the contribution you make to the team, thanks for being part of what makes the people at Criteo so great!

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”
