Pros

-Global: HQ are in Paris, with offices ALL around the world so you get to interact with people from all over the world. There are many opportunities to work abroad. -Thought Leader: Everyone that I have met is very passionate about the company and the products. Criteo is not just another retargeter, there is a lot of data and science behind what we do. R&D investment is very important and Criteo is constantly looking at ways to refine, build and grow. -Culture: Criteo has really invested in office managers to ensure they bring the Criteo culture to every office. The annual summit in Paris is amazing. It makes you feel like you are part of something BIG.

Cons

-Processes and Tools: Criteo has been a bit behind on providing employees with efficient tools to help them streamline processes. This has definitely improved since I joined and I can see it is headed in the right direction. Training: Again this is getting better, however training has definitely been a challenge for newer teams. Training should not only span the engine and products, but also job roles (AS, TS, BI). Collaboration and Communication: depends on the team/business line. For newer teams, there has been more disconnect. There needs to be a bigger push to integrate all teams and knowledge share across teams.

Hi - thank you so much for your feedback! You wouldn't believe how insightful it is, both the pros and the cons. This is an awesome place to be, and thanks for being a part of it! In terms of the cons, absolutely agree on the efficient tools. Infact IT has a bunch of additional tools in their pipeline that are in the 2015/2016 roadmap and will bring exciting efficiencies to our employees! Absolutely agree this needs focus, and Criteo is right behind you on this. Also on the communications! infact we hired a new Sr Director of communications to address exactly your point here. It's very much recognised as a need, and we should start seeing changes soon, we have a very aggressive agenda to improve on this! Thank you again, you've truly hit the nail on the head.

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”
