      Mixed feelings - Good company to stay less than 2-3 years

      Account strategist
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      - Good perks: salary, lunch card, massage, holidays, the view... - Great team mates to work with; good talents (even if less and less over the years) It's easy to have fun every day thanks to your colleagues! - No micro-management - if you are senior enough - Trainings and personal development - Good chances to develop your knowledge in the Adtech industry - International environment - The right place to develop yourself if you have good energy - Healthy work-life balance - Gender equality (yes, that is something Criteo is really good at!)

      Cons

      - Middle Management can vary from one team to another. Some are very nice to work with, others make employees leave the company. They are the major part. People Experience are aware of it, through the Managers survey etc. nevertheless no concrete action taken, neither notes taken during the final interview. It makes me wonder if this is something taken seriously... - They expect you to overachieve with less capacity over the years. The new motto seems to be: do more with less. When you have a large client portfolio, and one thing goes wrong, Team Leads don't understand you don't deliver the same Top Service they deliver in Large Customers when having 10x more clients. Unless you work 10x times more, it's technically impossible. Expectations from Account Strategists should be clearer and risks should be evaluated by managers before reducing resources, thus before blaiming commercial teams. - Politics are high, I guess that's what you should expect when joining a big company. Something you need to consider before signing.

      Attractive, but too conservative to promote innovation

      Anonymous employee
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Good working conditions and the hackathon annual initiative

      Cons

      The politics is taking a prominent place in order to reinforce conservatism, without opening up to the acquisition of new ideas coming from new hires. People seem too focused on writing documentation instead of talking to each other. Hackathons, which are supposed to open the mindset, at the end dont really bring innovation in processes, which seems still too waterfall in the daily life. The mastery of standards is very low, and being based on the status quo (technology and reputation) is limiting the creativity. The lack of Agility prevents the healthy evolution of the product development. The products are late, face to competitors evolutions.

      Pros

      Criteo hires great people and offers its employees packages that are very competitive. The company cares a lot about its employees and is looking to always improve. The products being released are genuinely good performing product that clients can take advantage of.

      Cons

      The biggest issue in Criteo are the middle managers. Senior leadership says that they are looking to improve the quality of the managers, but it’s hard to see. Some managers are being rewarded for the hard work their teams are doing while offering zero support and input - It is a shame there is no visible action being taken
