Pros

If you like challenge, risk, fast paced environment and high self responsibility you are looking at the right company : - the company leaves a lot of independence to people to be responsible of their own career and projects out of their own scope - people are so much fun and inclusive - it is a very challenging environment with a lot of opportunities for self development to mature as a person - top level training programs are being delivered, which gives everyone the opportunity to step up and develop knowledge and soft skills they can carry their whole career - you are looking at a top class company in terms of intellectual level, technology orientation and growth !

Cons

If you look for a company where you just have to come, sit and do your job, you are definitely not looking at the right company ;) Hiring more junior roles (great level of energy and fun) can hold some downsides during the transition : - at times you can find some immature attitudes towards organisational decisions that could be tackled with more time spent taking the time to explain more in depth the bigger picture (recent initiatives are going in the very right direction) - the lack of people's experience in previous companies leave junior profiles without anything to compare Criteo with, which can sometimes generate impatience in what "fast" really means in terms of promotion cycle. Some tools could be developed to help this population assess more accurately their actual situation in the market - stress management is still a topic being worked on as I am very confident it will keep helping more our most junior profiles balance their high implication at work through more psychological height and distance

Pros

Smart, hardworking people at the individual contributor level (many of whom are now gone). Little micro-managing, but that’s because everyone’s bandwidth is near 0

Cons

Post–new CEO, the company has descended into complete chaos. There is no transparency around decisions that impact teams and roles. There have been consistent strategy, personnel, and supplier changes with no explanation, accountability, or follow-through. Cons, continued: Employee input and performance do not matter. Decisions feel driven by appeasing BoD and optics rather than results, input and reality. The culture has become a corporate hellscape of: Endless reorganizations with no clear rationale, including layoffs with no reasoning Vague all-hands meetings that avoid real issues, even when directly asked A massive disconnect between the C-suite and day-to-day reality Eroded trust and growing position insecurity Middle managers incentivized to prioritize managing up & executive optics over team advocacy “Return to Office” policy put in place when promised a “Work from Anywhere” position, where the RTO policy differs across employees’ location Little to no growth opportunities despite high performance Under-market average compensation that was justified by locale, “Work from Anywhere”, and flexibility — which was recently rolled back A clear favoritism to those that “talk the talk” vs “performance with numbers”
