Pros

- You can learn a lot from the global and regional team if you want to connect with them - Criteo encourages employees to be innovative and develop themselves via many great elearning platform and workshops - Many young and talented people globally who are very nice and willing to share their knowledge - You can literally learn technical and soft skills and your efforts will be recognized - Real time data allows employees to know whether their strategy works - Real nice colleagues at the office - Opportunities to move horizontally to other teams as long as you fit into the role - World class analytics tools and platforms

Cons

-Unfortunately, since 2 years ago, there are many wrong hires who do not fit into the culture and many of them are in the senior management, causing ICs to be demoralized - Criteo culture used to be collaborative, and people work hard together to get things done. Unfortunately, many of the wrong hires in the senior management like to push back and do not add value to the team at all. As a result, many talented individuals choose to leave the company - Many wrong acqusition was done in the past, causing slow movement in product development - Dependency on google and facebook - Too late to be in the app environment. The company needs to diversify its technology in order to be great again

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”
