Pros

Fun environment and free breakfast.

Cons

As a sales manager you might be fired at any minute. You need to work very hard to pass probation but even then the company might not keep you if they don't like you.

Thank you for sharing your feedback about your time at Criteo. Our Sales Manager roles are challenging and require commitment to be successful, but they’re also exciting and rewarding with learning opportunities. We have a strong ramp-up approach in place to support each individual as they progress through their probation. We are also candid in the conversations we have with team members around their performance throughout this period. We always work to hire Criteos with the skill set to be part of our journey, although there are times when there may be misalignment on performance in role. When this happens we have a dedicated People Experience team that continuously works to ensure we have an objective approach on all people matters, and we always try to do this in the right way. I’d like to hear about your experience in more detail at s.chindalur@criteo.com, so please do reach out. Shruthi Chindalur Regional Managing Director Mid-Market EMEA

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”
