We'd like to say thank you for taking the time to submit your review and highlighting those points. All managers might not join Criteo being experienced, and we consider it's our responsibility to provide them with the right tools and training to help them support their team members. In 2020 and 2021, a strong focus of the HR teams has been to train managers to develop their team members with the launch of the Manager Behaviors Framework based on the values, as well as the reinforcing the manager's role in the IDP (Individual Development Plan) process. Those initiatives go hand in hand with ensuring a fair and transparent promotion process, through our evolving Perform & Develop an approach to assess the performance of our employees in a fair and consistent way, coupled with and learning sessions on development goals for all Criteo, which we encourage you to attend if you have not had the chance. In case you have additional questions, we encourage you to reach out to your local PE manager in Barcelona.

Good company but horrible management

Pros

- Nice office / rooftop - Culture - Benefits - Travelling opportunities (depending on position) - Home office opportunity

Cons

- Promotions (no possibility) - Management (if you are in a team where huge managerial mistakes are present which hurt employees at work and outside of work, there is nothing that can be done as the managers are protected. HR proposes manager survey where you can give your opinion about your manager, so he can improve, however, even if during the years the score of manager survey is very bad, HR does NOTHING. Even if all the team goes to People Partner to alert unbearable situation of the team and asks help, HR does nothing. Even if 3 employees from the team of 4 people, are in a sick leave (burn out), HR does NOTHING. The only thing People Partner can say, if you don't like, you are free to leave, your manager will not change. This is how Criteo respects employees rights and helps to solve problems. If you are a manager, you do what you want, you work very few and you can never be bothered) - Salaries are low (only for several departments they are very high, the difference is a lot) - Toxic environment

Thanks for taking the time to reflect on your experience. First, let us say that we're really sorry to hear that you did not have a positive management work experience and didn't feel supported by your HR team, this doesn't reflect at all what we want to offer to our employees. We have several processes in place to carefully review feedbacks received by managers. We are putting the focus on creating a collaborative team progression by involving, training and providing managers with the right tools to support their team members, as shown with the creation of the Manager Behavior Framework and the reinforcement of the IDP (Individual Development Plan) that we have launched since 2020 and 2021. Although you feel that you have already been offered this solution, we strongly encourage you to reach out to your local People Partner to discuss this situation.

We'd like to thank you for the recommendation, and for taking the time to express your thoughts. We announced early this year our new company strategy to pivot into a Commerce Media Platform, leveraging both our strong tech assets and long-standing relationships with retailers. For now we are still implementing those changes, yet we truly believe that this will expand our addressable market and create new business opportunities in the longer term. Thanks for your ongoing contribution!
