Pros

Almost 7 years in the company, and I still enjoy it a lot. I have grown a lot in the company and with the company. I have been working at a various number of positions, in R&D as Individual contributor, Dev lead , ePM, Engineering Manager, and in different fields : API, plateforme scalability, Network integration, Recommendation, Machine Learning... This is a good match for me, as I get bored easily. I need to change often. I always have found new exciting challenges within Criteo. What I like in this company is that as soon as you have a bit of Karma (proven yourself a bit), the company is supporting you and keen on taking risk on you to bring you where you want to be. I rarely see/heard that in company of that size.

Cons

Current employee evaluation process is made every 6 months. The added value is that you have a great feedback and the process is super fair. Downside is currently it takes a tremendous amount of time to management. We need to fine tune it.

Hello there, Thank you for your feedback! Your point on new challenges and new adventures is absolutely spot on. With the kind of growth we're experiencing, there's opportunity for everyone to stretch themselves and take on something new when they're ready. And it's great to be a part of a company that actually supports it! Separately, your point on the feedback process is very fair. This will be shared with the R&D HR team for their consideration. Best, HR

Pros

Smart, hardworking people at the individual contributor level (many of whom are now gone). Little micro-managing, but that’s because everyone’s bandwidth is near 0

Cons

Post–new CEO, the company has descended into complete chaos. There is no transparency around decisions that impact teams and roles. There have been consistent strategy, personnel, and supplier changes with no explanation, accountability, or follow-through. Cons, continued: Employee input and performance do not matter. Decisions feel driven by appeasing BoD and optics rather than results, input and reality. The culture has become a corporate hellscape of: Endless reorganizations with no clear rationale, including layoffs with no reasoning Vague all-hands meetings that avoid real issues, even when directly asked A massive disconnect between the C-suite and day-to-day reality Eroded trust and growing position insecurity Middle managers incentivized to prioritize managing up & executive optics over team advocacy “Return to Office” policy put in place when promised a “Work from Anywhere” position, where the RTO policy differs across employees’ location Little to no growth opportunities despite high performance Under-market average compensation that was justified by locale, “Work from Anywhere”, and flexibility — which was recently rolled back A clear favoritism to those that “talk the talk” vs “performance with numbers”
