Criteo reviews

-management is lacking professionalism in basic skills (although I do not blame them, as they never needed them) - code of conduct does not exist in some teams - team leads are given responsibilities but cannot make any decisions and yet still behave as managers and remind you about hierchy - no career path and no clear goals in most of the teams - senior employees are leaving or are unmotivated to help other team members and care only about their jobs and targets - lack of confidentiality in HR team, they are just gathering information for the managers (none of the meetings are confidential, if you are working in Criteo now, please remember this) - lack of cooperation between teams - employees are treated like children instead of professional advice and support - feedback is not welcomed, specially if given to French employees and ignored in many cases - employees who are the manager's friends are receiving special treatments everyday and nobody is reacting, because it is a closed circle of self-supporting and covering tracks (very visible recently - did you think we don't notice?) - junior profiles are hired because it is cheaper and easier to control, people come to have fun in Barcelona and do not complain, after a while they leave - specific people only are "asked" by the managers to add a positive review of the company (October) Criteo is creating an illusion and a bigger lie every month. All employees are playing along and clapping as we all want to keep our jobs. Things are getting worse with each quarter, targets are unrealistic and there is no support from management. People skills are missed, because what is important is "projects". People are fired as if they did not mean anything. Meanwhile some managers can spend budgets on their friends and their needs or take sick days whenever they want without documentation.

Criteo has been going from bad to worse from early this year. Whoever is practising compassionate leadership has hired people in the top leadership roles in the name of restructuring and disruption which are far away from knowing what compassion is, which makes one wonder if the compassionate leadership that is being harped is a facade? 1-2-1 meetings with so called top leaders are a torture chamber experience where the real colour of the leader comes out. There is emotional abuse, intimidation, threatening, and ultimatums about your ability to contribute to their bonus. It is hard to see these so called leaders care about people than their own pockets. Many people who have been at Criteo for many years have been pushed out in less than compassionate ways. People are being fired without ethics. People experience (Human Resource) is a joke. In the markets where economic crisis is looming, customers are pausing campaigns after three months as Criteo is not able to deliver promised results.
