      Pros

      6 month in, and I think it's time to make a review of Criteo. Criteo is overall a very good company. I work as a Sales Manager, in our wonderful Barcelona office. Probably the most amazing view from any office I've ever seen (and I've seen a few). What I really enjoy about Criteo is how well the product actually works. As a Sales Manager, this makes my day-to-day life soo much easier and helps me perform. In previous jobs, it was much more about selling the vision, while here with our super transparent setup, you can't really go wrong. In previous jobs, there has always been some distance between senior manage and the people below. This is definitely not the case here. Super friendly people, who have mostly all started their careers in Criteo, which says a bit about the career opportunities in this company. Besides very friendly people, from all over the world, they company really tries to be creative in their social approach. We're not just talking summer and Christmas parties. Almost every week, there is a social event; that being team activities on the beach, cinema evenings or renting a boat and sail on the ocean. As mentioned previous, the Criteo product is really standing out within re-marketing, which makes it a joy to sell. But Criteo is opening up to new trends and products, that will for sure have an impact in the advertising space for the future. They really make sure to hire quality people, which makes the company really stand out, compared to my previous experiences. It's all about the people, and I think they got this right. The company is growing A LOT, which makes sense, as the product work. I had more inbound my first 14 days, that I had for a whole year in my previous role. So top remarks 6 months in. Hopefully this will only get better.

      Cons

      Obviously no company is picture perfect, but I do think Criteo is doing something right.

      A Decline in Strategy, Stability, and Morale

      Pros

      In the past, the company demonstrated consistent double-digit revenue growth, which positively impacted motivation and confidence in the company’s future.

      Cons

      Since the arrival of the new CEO, employee morale has significantly declined, and there have been no visible positive changes. The company previously demonstrated consistent double-digit revenue growth year over year; currently, performance is at best flat. The original “full remote” contractual agreement is now being reversed through a forced return-to-office policy. Frequent organizational restructurings create instability and uncertainty. Significant annual layoffs followed by external hiring, instead of investing in the development and upskilling of existing employees. Previously loyal and engaged employees are losing motivation due to a lack of long-term vision and growth prospects. No merit increases, while at the same time investing in expanding office spaces that would not be necessary without the return-to-office policy. Limited internal career growth opportunities, with a preference for hiring externally rather than promoting from within.

      From top leadership to individual contributors, we all have our organizational health at heart. So, every strategic decision we make is driven by the will to strengthen our position as a key industry player and build long-term success for our company and everyone in it. We strive to set clear goals and communicate them with maximum transparency to ensure we’re all looking in the same direction. Redefining our work approach also falls under that description. By blending office presence with home office, we keep trusting our employees to choose how they manage their time, energy, and schedule, while encouraging what makes us perform best: in-person connections. We value both vertical and horizontal career growth, and that’s why there is always room at Criteo for people ready to explore alternative pathways to propel their career to the next level. Receiving open feedback helps us identify potential pain points and improve our way of doing things, so thank you for sharing.

      Wake up call - We're heading to the wrong direction

      Pros

      The job itself can be exciting, interesting approach for management style. Remote option is great! There were many nice, ambitious and talented people - before layoffs happened.

      Cons

      Only been here for 2 years but this company has been doing a MAJOR shift. Used to be a caring, friendly company with lots of talent and very nice initiatives for employee wellbeing. But right now the gap between what is being said - everything is amazing - and the reality of employees is massive! C-level management seems to be completely disconnected from it's employees - this urgently needs to be fixed or it's is not gonna end well. Very sad to see this happening.
