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.

Pros

Awesome environment, culture and people.

Cons

Incredibly rigid internal hiring structure. Decided to leave because I was ineligible for a position due to my "career band". In order to stay, I would have had to hire and train my boss (instead of allowing me to take their position).
