Pros

A few nice coworkers (but only a few) and that’s about it.

Cons

Literally everything else. Most of the people you’ll work with are incredibly rude and egotistical. Work/life balance non-existent. My personal well-being and health deteriorated significantly due to the crazy workload which included a ton of late nights and weekends, many of which came up unexpectedly due to horrible communication. When I brought up these concerns to my team’s management, they didn’t take them seriously. I also brought up these concerns in the employee engagement surveys which the People team didn’t seem to take seriously either since nothing ever changed. They only seemed even remotely interested in my feedback once I submitted my resignation. This company burns and turns employees like I’ve never seen anywhere else.

Hello, thanks for taking the time to submit your experience. We are really sorry to hear that you didn't feel supported during your time at Criteo. What you describe here does not reflect at all the experience that we want to offer to our employees. We are strongly convinced that employees wellbeing is a key element of success. We keep investing in various wellbeing initiatives, from having the Workplace team running weekly Feelgood initiatives in all regions, to offering mental health support through an external provider with up to 5 appointments with a Mental Heath professional, while having regular internal campaigns acknowledging the importance of taking breaks. At the end of May, we have been offering a day off to all employees as a reward for their hard work. We hope you are well and wish you all the best for your next professional experience.

Good work life balance, all young people.

Cons

Taking away perks that we have had for a long time. Eventually reach your cap as an IC.

Pros

People I worked with and the culture was great, work life balance was fantastic.

Cons

Every year now it layoffs, makes one want to ask a question. Perhaps Criteo needs a better CFO to manage the companies finances. Being every year Criteo is laying people off, yet CFO still remains. Perhaps Criteo needs to look at those who are staying a bit closer.
