Hello - thank you so much for your feedback! This is really important to us as we continue to work on a build a culture that is the same for everyone no matter what role. Firstly - glad you seem to be having FUN at Criteo! We all spend so much time in the office, having fun matters! It seems like your comments in the "Advice to management" section are related to a specific incident that's taken place. I highly encourage you to talk about this more - either with your leadership, or with HR if that's more comfortable. This kind of feedback is critical to us, and we'd like to make sure we address it straight away! Taking smart risks is a big part of our culture. And sometimes, we know we're just going to get it wrong. And that's part of learning process - but employees shouldn't feel judged or punished for taking a risk. Please do feel free to talk about this in more detail if you are comfortable!

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”
