Pros

Having worked at a multitude of tech companies, I have a hard time thinking where Criteo stands out. Yes, the benefits are decent - as they are at any tech company. The company is trying to reinvent itself but its highest margin product (retargeting) has a limited shelf life and continues to decline, which then impacts the overall environment.

Cons

What is absolutely grating is the gap between talk and action on diversity. Yes, there is talk of diversity and programs and so on. But where it counts - leadership and upper management, there is no diversity. From C level down to VP level, at least as far as the US is concerned, you will be hard pressed to see a black or brown face. Yes, there are plenty of women - all caucasian. So its like the Mad Men era, except they decided to let only those who were in the office ( men and women) now join management.

Open feedback is always a key starting point to improve how we do things in the future, so thank you for sharing yours! There is no finish line when it comes to diversity and inclusion in the workplace. It is an ongoing journey that doesn't happen overrnight and that is why we keep developping new programs while preserving ongoing initiatives. Though our committment still stands strong, we know there will always be room for improvement. So we intend to continue our efforts to sustain an inclusive and diverse workplace in the long run.

Pros

Smart, hardworking people at the individual contributor level (many of whom are now gone). Little micro-managing, but that’s because everyone’s bandwidth is near 0

Cons

Post–new CEO, the company has descended into complete chaos. There is no transparency around decisions that impact teams and roles. There have been consistent strategy, personnel, and supplier changes with no explanation, accountability, or follow-through. Cons, continued: Employee input and performance do not matter. Decisions feel driven by appeasing BoD and optics rather than results, input and reality. The culture has become a corporate hellscape of: Endless reorganizations with no clear rationale, including layoffs with no reasoning Vague all-hands meetings that avoid real issues, even when directly asked A massive disconnect between the C-suite and day-to-day reality Eroded trust and growing position insecurity Middle managers incentivized to prioritize managing up & executive optics over team advocacy “Return to Office” policy put in place when promised a “Work from Anywhere” position, where the RTO policy differs across employees’ location Little to no growth opportunities despite high performance Under-market average compensation that was justified by locale, “Work from Anywhere”, and flexibility — which was recently rolled back A clear favoritism to those that “talk the talk” vs “performance with numbers”
