Pros

Very cool working environment - events - day to day workplace experiences; Top work-life balance, not a lot of pressure; Pay is above market level, which gets people to stay and not really question themselves on how they perform and on how they can improve; Brilliant minds from all over the world but also....

Cons

...a toxic culture that has quickly spread thanks to low motivated and/or frustrated people that have been there for years and do not want/like to be challenged and to step out of their little comfort zone; Close to no meritocracy, and lots (lots) of politics; Company culture isn't clear and doesn't correspond to what is being displayed on the marketing / employer branding side - rarely will you meet that much close-mindedness; Management is highly questionable - you begin to wonder for some if they have been trained or guided to embrace those roles

Thank you for sharing your thoughts about your experience working at Criteo. Hopefully you have had a chance to read our recent communications about improvements to our performance management process aimed at ensuring a fair measure of performance. The appointment of our new CEO, Megan Clarken, provides the ‘shake-up’ you call for and our new company values, developed using a ‘bottom-up’ approach, will be launched early in 2020. We are building a refreshed identity and renewed determination to be the leading advertising platform for the open internet and, even more importantly, an employer of choice. Denis Collin, EVP People

Pros

Ability to learn new. I learned quite a bit of machine learning and got some hands on experience with ML even though I did not have prior experience. They even gave me 3 weeks full time ML training Work trips to Paris Excellent work-life balance (hey, I had 23 (!) days of vacation)

Cons

HQ is in Paris so we adapt to them. That means a lot of 8AM (sometimes 7) meetings. At least one (or even two) trips to HQ Communication is a bit hard. I think there is a cultural barrier between offices.
