      Good company but horrible management

      Anonymous employee

      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      - Nice office / rooftop - Culture - Benefits - Travelling opportunities (depending on position) - Home office opportunity

      Cons

      - Promotions (no possibility) - Management (if you are in a team where huge managerial mistakes are present which hurt employees at work and outside of work, there is nothing that can be done as the managers are protected. HR proposes manager survey where you can give your opinion about your manager, so he can improve, however, even if during the years the score of manager survey is very bad, HR does NOTHING. Even if all the team goes to People Partner to alert unbearable situation of the team and asks help, HR does nothing. Even if 3 employees from the team of 4 people, are in a sick leave (burn out), HR does NOTHING. The only thing People Partner can say, if you don't like, you are free to leave, your manager will not change. This is how Criteo respects employees rights and helps to solve problems. If you are a manager, you do what you want, you work very few and you can never be bothered) - Salaries are low (only for several departments they are very high, the difference is a lot) - Toxic environment

      Thanks for taking the time to reflect on your experience. First, let us say that we're really sorry to hear that you did not have a positive management work experience and didn't feel supported by your HR team, this doesn't reflect at all what we want to offer to our employees. We have several processes in place to carefully review feedbacks received by managers. We are putting the focus on creating a collaborative team progression by involving, training and providing managers with the right tools to support their team members, as shown with the creation of the Manager Behavior Framework and the reinforcement of the IDP (Individual Development Plan) that we have launched since 2020 and 2021. Although you feel that you have already been offered this solution, we strongly encourage you to reach out to your local People Partner to discuss this situation.

      World-class R&D team, with a noticeable focus on tackling problems when they occur

      Software engineer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Very strong and modest R&D people Respect for technical people : you won't get stuck if you don't want to become a manager Ability to make a visible difference in many different ways and be congratulated publicly for that Young and fun atmosphere, with lots of events Very humble and accessible cofounders Strong will to identify and kill problems Freedom of speech : anonymous questions (sometimes harsh) are discussed openly by C-level in front of the whole company

      Cons

      As in any company growing this fast : useless layers (both human and administrative) between decisions and execution, even though there's always a way to bypass them Ambitious hiring plan, but no clear vision on internal promotion opportunities

      Excellent company to work for

      Data scientist (software engineer)
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      - Many talents and experts specialized in Software Engineering, Machine Learning, AI and Statistical Modeling, - Criteo provides multiple events and training to make sure employees stay at the top of the industry and get the opportunity to learn a lot. I received a ticket for NIPS conference (sold out in 11min) after 6 months within the firm. We have weekly events to meet and discuss research papers and industry applications of quantitative methods, - Criteo is constantly innovating, projects are extremely interesting and it is very easy to share thoughts within the team (managers are all good communicators - they are here to give you constructive advises), and across teams (Criteo also encourages mobility), - Management is constantly looking for new product opportunities and is open to new ideas (via a formal established process, or unformal talks). - Lots of free food, beverages, and social events, - Great Culture (go check the video Criteo gogogo), - Amazing work life balance, - The Paris office is extremely impressive, we go grab lunch on the rooftop with a view on the Eiffel Tower and the Sacre Coeur, we have all kind of goodies, lots of space and light, - Very generous vacation package, many small advantages (gym contribution, vacation contribution, transportation and other discounts) and strong compensation package. - Recruitment process is extremely smooth and clear, every interviewer went though a long training process to make sure the assessment will be fair, and HR does its best to make the process pleasant and constructive.

      Cons

      Once you get in here, it's very hard to leave.
