Pros

- Easy to commute - Medical Insurance - Lunch Card - Decent salary

Cons

Criteo has been going from bad to worse from early this year. Whoever is practising compassionate leadership has hired people in the top leadership roles in the name of restructuring and disruption which are far away from knowing what compassion is, which makes one wonder if the compassionate leadership that is being harped is a facade? 1-2-1 meetings with so called top leaders are a torture chamber experience where the real colour of the leader comes out. There is emotional abuse, intimidation, threatening, and ultimatums about your ability to contribute to their bonus. It is hard to see these so called leaders care about people than their own pockets. Many people who have been at Criteo for many years have been pushed out in less than compassionate ways. People are being fired without ethics. People experience (Human Resource) is a joke. In the markets where economic crisis is looming, customers are pausing campaigns after three months as Criteo is not able to deliver promised results.

Pros

Criteo has very good benefits; higher then other companies. They have a good marketing department supporting everything in a professional way; they will teach you a lot about the digital landscape; great employer to start your career. Everything is well organized.

Cons

Working for Criteo is like working Kim Jung Ung; they have regulations for everything you do. They have a trainings where you're told to rat on colleges when you see something that's not in line with their policy. Theres no room for creativity at all - none. No room for growth either. Very high stress levels.
