Mirakl Company Culture & Values

How does Mirakl help team members recharge during the holiday season?

At Mirakl, we place great importance on ensuring our employees can fully enjoy the holiday season. We encourage them to take advantage of this time to step away from work, focus on their loved ones and recharge. To make the season even more special, we also organize a large year-end celebration, bringing everyone together to reflect on the year’s successes and share a moment of conviviality. 

Additionally, in the United States, we offer more paid time off than the industry average, providing employees with the opportunity to truly rest and disconnect. As a French company, we also emphasize the right to disconnect, a value reinforced by our top managers, who set an example by fully delegating responsibilities and refraining from responding to emails while on vacation. These initiatives ensure our teams feel supported in achieving a healthy balance between work and personal life.

Why is this support important from a work-life balance perspective?

Prioritizing time for employees to recharge during the holidays reflects our dedication to fostering well-being and balance. This season is an opportunity for our teams to focus on what matters most — family, friends and personal moments — without the stress of work demands. Events like our year-end celebration further reinforce a sense of connection and community, ensuring everyone feels valued and supported both in and outside of work. 

In a company with strong ambitions, maintaining a work-life balance is critical to keeping our teams engaged and motivated over the long term. To support this, we require managers to discuss work-life balance with their teams twice a year, providing a structured opportunity to address concerns and find solutions tailored to individual needs.

What kind of feedback has your team received regarding this support during the holiday season? How has it positively impacted employees? 

Our employees have shared how much they appreciate these initiatives, describing them as meaningful ways to end the year on a positive note. For example, the year-end celebration has become a highlight for many, with employees emphasizing how it strengthens bonds across teams and provides a sense of accomplishment and gratitude as the year wraps up. 

In the United States, employees have expressed their gratitude for the additional time off, which allows them to fully enjoy the holiday season with their families. Likewise, the emphasis on the right to disconnect has been well-received across all regions, as it empowers employees to prioritize their well-being. As a company that values commitment and excellence, we recognize the importance of taking a step back to recharge and reflect. These moments of rest and disconnection are essential for our teams to return energized, motivated and ready to embrace the challenges of 2025 with confidence.

Give us a snapshot of your performance review process. How often do they occur, and who is involved in the process?

Performance reviews at Mirakl happen twice a year, setting the foundation for our talent management strategy. The mid-year check-in launches each July, where employees complete self-reflections on their first-half achievements and growth areas. Managers provide feedback through one-on-one career discussions that conclude by August, establishing goals for the rest of the year. The annual talent review begins in December as a comprehensive evaluation of the full year. Employees complete self-assessments that rate their expertise and embodiment of Mirakl’s core values, while managers prepare parallel evaluations. A global calibration ensures consistent standards across the organization.

Final ratings reflect the full year’s performance against Mirakl’s expectations and determine outcomes, including promotions and compensation adjustments. Our performance review strategy is executed globally by the people team, with managers and stakeholders playing a major role. Together, we create opportunities for growth, feedback and career development, guiding every Mirakl employee’s journey.

How does your performance review process ladder up to Mirakl’s culture and/or mission?

Our performance review process is core to Mirakl’s DNA and directly supports our mission to revolutionize online business. Our bi-annual review framework focuses on expertise — the “what” — and Mirakl’s values — the “how” — connecting individual performance to the core of our culture. Mirakl’s mission and performance review strategy share a foundational principle: transforming complexity into clarity through systematic processes that drive sustainable growth and success.
