Pros

Some nice people, selection of good benefits including WFH

Cons

Constant cost cutting - operating on a shoe string budget but expecting miracles. Regular rounds of poorly executed redundancies and restructuring over the last few years - if you like security then avoid Incompetent and unqualified leaders, in particular amongst Directors and Senior Directors. Speaking French seems to be the main criteria to get to this level. Lots of talk about being ‘People focused’ but in reality this is not the case. Talent Development and promotion opportunities minimal.

We are deeply sorry to hear that you didn't feel supported. ​ Our plan to become the world-leading Commerce Media Platform, announced in February 2021, has led to us having to pivot. True it is that the industry is fast-paced, which is also what inspires us to meet the challenge.​ As an acknowledgment for employees' efforts during this time, we gave all Criteos a free rest day and increased our investment into people wellbeing, as we strongly believe that we will not achieve our goals without setting up our people for success.​ Again, we are sorry that you didn't feel that way. The experience you describe is far from what we want to offer. We wish you to find what you're looking for in your new company.​

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.

Through the way they connect, build each other up, and impact one another, people make Criteo into a unique workplace every day, and we’re glad it's something you appreciated during your time with us. When it comes to our company’s future, decisions are never arbitrary but made with shared responsibility, maximum transparency, and bearing our long-term organizational health in mind. Yet, receiving open feedback, whether positive or not, is always valuable to us, so thank you for sharing yours. We wish you the best for what comes next.
