Used to be great to work at

Pros

Great colleagues, international environment, good perks and decent remuneration

Cons

The company once used to be great. This unfortunately changed significantly after the arrival of the new CEO and the redomiciliation from Europe to the US. Political games, leaders with no clear vision and employees who are on the verge of burnout. Constant rounds of layoffs, with more Senior Management positions being created. Mandated RTO seems to be the only change the new CEO brought in his 1y in desk. Freezing of merit increases this year and preferential promotions granted always to the people they like and not the people that are worth it. Investment in new offices in a year that cost savings are required. C- suite leadership does not seem to be strong or trustworthy enough. No recent product innovations, keeping Criteo behing compared to its competitors.

Pros

Fun when it was going well. Fun people. Decent first role out of college.

Cons

Falls behind most other adtech companies in terms of actual sales training. You can easily hide behind the product without actually ever learning anything about sales.

Pros

For now, there are still highly capable professionals and a strong culture that you can work within and grow alongside. You can develop valuable, practical skills and benefit from supportive mentors and coaches who genuinely help you to thrive in your career.

Cons

Employees who have been with the company for more than two years will confirm that the company has taken a rather negative direction since the new CEO came on board. Criteo was once known for its openness to diversity and for actively encouraging employees to celebrate their individual backgrounds and ways of working. That spirit now feels diminished. It is understandable that the company is facing financial challenges — something many organisations are experiencing in the current climate. However, the decision to invest in new, high-spec offices while reducing headcount has been difficult to reconcile. Remaining employees are stretched thin, pay rises have been put on hold for the coming year, and at the same time, there is increased pressure to travel more frequently to these new offices. Given the stated financial constraints, prioritising such expenditure has not been well received. The company also used to place a strong emphasis on its carbon footprint. It is, therefore, disappointing to see regular international travel becoming commonplace, seemingly to reduce salary costs by relocating work to lower-cost countries.

We want to set an example and lead AdTech responsibly by implementing best practices and continuously improving our sustainability reporting, ratings, and performance year after year as we work toward our sustainability targets. By increasingly structuring our processes, we keep getting closer to building a responsible future where we’re all accountable for our impact on the well-being of our communities, the perseveration of the planet, and the integrity of our industry. Thank you again for sharing your thoughts so transparently. Open feedback is our fuel for continuous improvement.
