Business Outlook

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

Used to be great to work at

Business Outlook

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.
