Great people, culture needs some fixing

Business Outlook

Pros

Smart people, fun colleagues, healthy work environment. Working hours are reasonable, even during crunch time. New MD (as of 5/2013) may have a positive impact.

Cons

In a growing company such as Criteo, the voluntary turnover in London is slightly too high. A few colleagues left because salaries stagnated (compared to the market and despite the company booming), others because of a few bad managers. Uneven management -- politics plays too big a role, unfortunately.

A mix of Good and Bad

Account executive

Business Outlook

Pros

Amazing team members, at least in Sales, even though we are all individual contributors, we feel very much connected and supportive of each other. Good Covid-19 support in terms of home equipment, mental support. Though it would have been better to just get a stipend to buy the equipment instead of submitting receipts+get compensation for other expenses.

Cons

Disconnected top leadership, many internal blockers for execution, the job involves more moving the needle inside of the company rather than selling the product outside. The leadership likes to have many feedback sessions, where no comments are written by them, no actionable resolution is offered, no accountability or ownership of a problem/solution. The worse part - over-achievement is penalized in the long run, higher targets, and less desire of the management to promote top performers. Instead, mediocre employees that provide bad level of service and underachieve are promoted and/or get lower targets.
