Pros

(The following may be team/position dependent but largely should be similar across the company) - Flexible hours with upper management emphasizing taking time off, long lunch breaks, etc. - Fantastic benefit (essentially free health insurance--I pay like $5 a month) - Lots of freedom to move vertically and horizontally in the company, even programs to work part-time or full-time for other teams to explore new jobs/areas etc. - Overall great company culture

Cons

Ad-tech is always evolving and so too must the company but sometimes it can feel like teams are getting left behind or just in general aren't receiving enough communication about how the company's trajectories translates to our day-to-day work.

Hello, thanks so much for this great review! It's always nice to hear that employees enjoy the benefits that we offer here at Criteo. Glad to know that you have found your work-life balance as it's something that we pay extra attention to, from encouraging employees to take breaks, to offering Company Day Off as a reward for the hard work provided on the last period of time. Adtech is an always-evolving market...but so are we, as shown this year with our transformation strategy to pivot into a Commerce Media Platform, leveraging both our strong tech assets and long-standing relationships with retailers. Thanks for being part of the people who make our culture like no other!

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”
