Pros

Having worked at a multitude of tech companies, I have a hard time thinking where Criteo stands out. Yes, the benefits are decent - as they are at any tech company. The company is trying to reinvent itself but its highest margin product (retargeting) has a limited shelf life and continues to decline, which then impacts the overall environment.

Cons

What is absolutely grating is the gap between talk and action on diversity. Yes, there is talk of diversity and programs and so on. But where it counts - leadership and upper management, there is no diversity. From C level down to VP level, at least as far as the US is concerned, you will be hard pressed to see a black or brown face. Yes, there are plenty of women - all caucasian. So its like the Mad Men era, except they decided to let only those who were in the office ( men and women) now join management.

Pros

Amazing team members, at least in Sales, even though we are all individual contributors, we feel very much connected and supportive of each other. Good Covid-19 support in terms of home equipment, mental support. Though it would have been better to just get a stipend to buy the equipment instead of submitting receipts+get compensation for other expenses.

Cons

Disconnected top leadership, many internal blockers for execution, the job involves more moving the needle inside of the company rather than selling the product outside. The leadership likes to have many feedback sessions, where no comments are written by them, no actionable resolution is offered, no accountability or ownership of a problem/solution. The worse part - over-achievement is penalized in the long run, higher targets, and less desire of the management to promote top performers. Instead, mediocre employees that provide bad level of service and underachieve are promoted and/or get lower targets.

Thanks for sharing your perspective. We continue to work to get qualitative and quantitative feedback from our team members through listening sessions and regular engagement and manager surveys to understand how our employees feel. We use this feedback to create tangible action plans to continue to improve the employee experience. Your manager should be including you in discussions about the results of employee surveys - we encourage you to talk to your Manager or your local People Partner if you have further feedback to communicate. We thank you for your hard work over the last 3-4 years and your continued contribution to Criteo's success.
