Fun company, but losing innovation

Account strategist

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Comfortable pay, fun culture (depends on office), international mobility, career growth

Cons

Many key leaders left the company years ago and innovation has slowed, other tech companies pay higher (ie. big tech - Google, FB, etc.), some perks has been discontinued (annual global summit in France no longer a thing), starting to feel more like a big company culture

Hard times but still a great engineering culture

Senior dev lead

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

- You'll work at a scale you'll rarely see in France - Being mostly bare metal, you'll be in touch with concerns only a few people care about (hardware tweaking, network topologies and so on) - The benefits are great (salary being one of them)

Cons

- It took the company two entire years to realise that cookie based AdTech was going nowhere and that it needed to pivot (since end of 2017, everybody knows that), It may be two late. TDD and some other competitors are far more advanced than Criteo. - The stock price (at less than 20$, there's no way to retain anyone with RSUs). - Besides HookLogic, all acquisitions have been a waste of money. At the same time, constant cost saving measures in the last two years did not only depress people but made delivering projects harder. - LOTS of people left because of the three previous points, which starts a vicious cycle

Great company culture, poor choice in management

Creative consultant

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

work with energetic, international people, and take advantage of work exchange programs

Cons

Management is inexperienced and not vetted. Favouritism is evident and there is little opportunity for growth unless you rub the right shoulders.

Thanks for taking the time to express your thoughts. We are glad to hear that you work with people you appreciated. We are committed to developing our managers into leaders who support the growth and success of their teams. In 2019, we won a Brandon Hall Group award for Excellence in Leadership Development for our in-house manager training programs. In 2020, we rolled out a Manager Behavior Framework based on our values to develop and support manager's growth. Employees are given the opportunity to provide feedback on their manager in the annual manager performance survey and have facilitated access to their local People Partner to discuss any specific concerns. We wish you all the best for the future.
