Pros

- Great, supportive, talented people - Still decent work/life balance

Cons

- Great, supportive, talented people are thrown out one after another - Work/life balance is threatened - Due to the new CEO's views and politics the company becomes more and more hostile to employees while demanding loyalty - HR and business partners behave like AI, giving meaningless scripted answers even to simplest questions. No, even worse than AI, you can get some actual information out of AI with a proper prompt - Every communication outside of the immediate team adds to the feeling of uncertainty and fear for the future - No more pay indexation

Good work life balance, all young people.

Taking away perks that we have had for a long time. Eventually reach your cap as an IC.

Pros

People I worked with and the culture was great, work life balance was fantastic.

Cons

Every year now it layoffs, makes one want to ask a question. Perhaps Criteo needs a better CFO to manage the companies finances. Being every year Criteo is laying people off, yet CFO still remains. Perhaps Criteo needs to look at those who are staying a bit closer.
