Stressful and not worth it

Pros

The job is okay as a stepping stone and certainly provides you with experiences, but I don’t see a quality future here for anyone. I would rate this company lower if I could.

Cons

The sales team quite honestly feels like a Highschool. The managers are not trained for their positions, they are in the positions because they joined Criteo at a time when Criteo prospered and “proved” themselves when all it took was spamming clients into oblivion. They do not know how to offer advice, they will only look out for themselves, and have on many occasions said things that should have been cause for HR reprimands. But hey, that’s just sales. This job causes undue stress and they will encourage you to work overtime and will reward the most nonsensical luck as if it were proven strategy. There are better jobs out there but if you’re in a pinch the benefits are great and the pay is decent. The name isn’t too bad on a resume either

Pros

-quite good salary and benefits

Cons

-very unprofessional management that goes completely unchecked -the promotion path is very unclear, favourites are being promoted or people who stayed the longest. Most of the managers were moved from London office, they are there the longest but very often skills are missing -internal communication in the company is very bad -more and more juniors are being hired, as they are easier to manage -all in all is a one product company, after 6 months you stop learning

Pros

Work from home and that is just about it here

Cons

- The incompetence of Senior management is staggering on the Ops team over in Europe. They have little to no knowledge of the teams underneath them, and quite frankly it is a bit embarrassing. Senior Management members never actually leave, they just move to different departments and spread the toxicity. - If you want to work here, avoid anything OPS related - While in a meeting in 2019, got laughed at by a senior management member when asked about career paths for Operations teams (FYI, there is none). Turns out they actually own their own french village (shocking). - Middle management on commercial teams is very cliquey, unprofessional, and make it very clear that they were promoted due to favoritism. - Salary/ compensation is incredibly noncompetitive for engineering positions, you can find better. - You can expect employees to post to their Instagram story wheel all day while you are slaving away in the endless ocean of Jira tickets. - Plan to work with employees who clearly do not know what they are doing, i.e. something as simple as sending files as attachments. - HR is borderline non-existent it takes 3 weeks for them to answer any of your issues. 3 WEEKS. They hire "contractors" to answer and triage your problem, you dont even get a real HR employee. - Still does not know how to retain employees, even though they have "been working on it". Its been 3 years since you started "working on it". A SR Hr representative in 2019 mentioned they dont look to retain employees for more than 3 years. "We cant make them stay" was the direct quote. If an employee leaves within 6-12 months, then they will start looking into why recruiting is failing....What. This is baffling.
