Pros

A few nice coworkers (but only a few) and that’s about it.

Cons

Literally everything else. Most of the people you’ll work with are incredibly rude and egotistical. Work/life balance non-existent. My personal well-being and health deteriorated significantly due to the crazy workload which included a ton of late nights and weekends, many of which came up unexpectedly due to horrible communication. When I brought up these concerns to my team’s management, they didn’t take them seriously. I also brought up these concerns in the employee engagement surveys which the People team didn’t seem to take seriously either since nothing ever changed. They only seemed even remotely interested in my feedback once I submitted my resignation. This company burns and turns employees like I’ve never seen anywhere else.

Hello, thanks for taking the time to submit your experience. We are really sorry to hear that you didn't feel supported during your time at Criteo. What you describe here does not reflect at all the experience that we want to offer to our employees. We are strongly convinced that employees wellbeing is a key element of success. We keep investing in various wellbeing initiatives, from having the Workplace team running weekly Feelgood initiatives in all regions, to offering mental health support through an external provider with up to 5 appointments with a Mental Heath professional, while having regular internal campaigns acknowledging the importance of taking breaks. At the end of May, we have been offering a day off to all employees as a reward for their hard work. We hope you are well and wish you all the best for your next professional experience.

Pros

Good working conditions and the hackathon annual initiative

Cons

The politics is taking a prominent place in order to reinforce conservatism, without opening up to the acquisition of new ideas coming from new hires. People seem too focused on writing documentation instead of talking to each other. Hackathons, which are supposed to open the mindset, at the end dont really bring innovation in processes, which seems still too waterfall in the daily life. The mastery of standards is very low, and being based on the status quo (technology and reputation) is limiting the creativity. The lack of Agility prevents the healthy evolution of the product development. The products are late, face to competitors evolutions.

Pros

Generally good compensation, individual contributors are generally strong. Excellent office culture

Cons

Management tends to add little value and unwilling to go to bat for their teams. Company lives on a "hero" culture where some employees go above and beyond but are not recognized. Product vision is weak at best Poor performers are allowed to stay for far too long Performance Review process is opaque, political, and arbitrary
