Pros

Good mix of both tenured and young people, but all of them extremely smart and motivated. People genuinely interested in the space and learning and growing as much as they can. Lots of team work and collaboration to produce the best results and smartest employees. Often opportunities to travel around the world, particularly if you are on a global team. Constantly improving both benefits, salaries and offices. Paris summit is a blast!

Cons

As the company has grown, C level has felt more inaccessible/ distant and projects and initiatives they're working on more mysterious, but this is also now a public company. Can be difficult to work with teams who are based abroad, but has gotten better and is always improving.

Hi there - thank you so much for your feedback! Firstly - really glad to see the culture of Criteo around collaboration and teamwork still thriving. And glad you appreciate our investment in improving the employee experience! You hit the nail on the head with your con. As we continue to grow as rapidly as we have on a global scale, it is increasingly more challenging to maintain the same level of access to our top executive leadership - everyone's just that much more busy. But it's important! And we have to find a way. If you have any suggestions on how we can increase this further, please DO reach out to your local HR or leadership. We are all ears.

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”
