Rotten from the top down

Pros

Very strong technology that is known for working well in the industry

Cons

This company is rotten from the top down, doesn't actually care for its employees (don't let talk of the benefits fool you) and runs on gossip. Top talent leaves and few people are truly happy. I would not recommend coming to work for this company unless you desperately need a job. There are plenty of other tech companies that are better to work for. Criteo is also known in the industry for having very poor retention. Wish I knew this before I joined.

Pros

A company with a great reputation, product and growth

Cons

Bad Management of staff – Especially in the SMB team You will be promised progression, and that if you have any ideas on how to improve a growing company to please bring suggestions to your weekly 1-2-1 meeting / interrogation. The reality is that you will be stuck in whatever role they give you. Some roles even within the same team will favour some and hugely disadvantage others. While the staff that are being recruited are mostly great and intelligent people, the atmosphere that is created by the managers and middle managers, creates fear among staff and even backstabbing and misdirection by the more senior staff in order to make sure that they stay ahead of new starters. Making any suggestions of improvement and equality are taken as a challenge to set systems and structures already in place that are obviously in need of changing as the company and teams grow. Main topics of discussions ‘at the watercooler’ are mainly about how unhappy people are and when they will be leaving. I feel so sorry for those that have battled against all of this in hope of an internal promotion, only to find that they will recruit someone external (Usually form Yahoo) to come in and cause more disruption and create more systems that that will obviously fail. The best part is, that when all of these doomed systems fail, they use a member of their staff / teams as scapegoat to cover up their own shortcomings. The worst experience of my career, and a waste of a year.

Horrible experience

Pros

A few nice coworkers (but only a few) and that’s about it.

Cons

Literally everything else. Most of the people you’ll work with are incredibly rude and egotistical. Work/life balance non-existent. My personal well-being and health deteriorated significantly due to the crazy workload which included a ton of late nights and weekends, many of which came up unexpectedly due to horrible communication. When I brought up these concerns to my team’s management, they didn’t take them seriously. I also brought up these concerns in the employee engagement surveys which the People team didn’t seem to take seriously either since nothing ever changed. They only seemed even remotely interested in my feedback once I submitted my resignation. This company burns and turns employees like I’ve never seen anywhere else.
