Pros

Work from home and that is just about it here

Cons

- The incompetence of Senior management is staggering on the Ops team over in Europe. They have little to no knowledge of the teams underneath them, and quite frankly it is a bit embarrassing. Senior Management members never actually leave, they just move to different departments and spread the toxicity. - If you want to work here, avoid anything OPS related - While in a meeting in 2019, got laughed at by a senior management member when asked about career paths for Operations teams (FYI, there is none). Turns out they actually own their own french village (shocking). - Middle management on commercial teams is very cliquey, unprofessional, and make it very clear that they were promoted due to favoritism. - Salary/ compensation is incredibly noncompetitive for engineering positions, you can find better. - You can expect employees to post to their Instagram story wheel all day while you are slaving away in the endless ocean of Jira tickets. - Plan to work with employees who clearly do not know what they are doing, i.e. something as simple as sending files as attachments. - HR is borderline non-existent it takes 3 weeks for them to answer any of your issues. 3 WEEKS. They hire "contractors" to answer and triage your problem, you dont even get a real HR employee. - Still does not know how to retain employees, even though they have "been working on it". Its been 3 years since you started "working on it". A SR Hr representative in 2019 mentioned they dont look to retain employees for more than 3 years. "We cant make them stay" was the direct quote. If an employee leaves within 6-12 months, then they will start looking into why recruiting is failing....What. This is baffling.

Thanks for the 5-star review, much appreciated! Earlier this year we announced a transformation plan to pivot into a Commerce Media Platform, leveraging both our strong tech assets and long-standing relationships with retailers. We truly believe that this strategy will expand our addressable market and create new business opportunities. We appreciate you taking the time to share your experience, and we're glad to have you as part of the Criteo team!

Pros

Criteo hires great people and have a rigid hiring process. The culture is centered around people and technology. Very in the front and great employer.

Cons

Immediate manager left no margins to make changes/ lead and had micromanagement technique. It was very unfair treatment of the immediate team and that was not possible to change. It wasn't possible to get around and so I left very short after. Unfortunate because the company is great.

Hello, thanks for taking the time to submit your review. We're glad that you appreciated the people-centric culture here at Criteo. We're sorry to hear that you didn't have the management experience you came looking for. We have several processes in place around the year to evaluate management satisfaction to design tailored action plans when required to avoid such situations, we wish we could have leveraged this. Wishing you all the best in your future endeavors.
