Pros

Pretty good working conditions. A lot of party. High salary

Cons

Bad (or no) management. No will to do the right thing. Locked in 2010 technologies. All team are separated from the others (silos everywhere). Don't expect to change something if you are not top management. Process over results.

Pros

R&D department is run well, relatively small/agile teams with lots of autonomy. Good technology, smart engineers, nice office, good compensation. Human element/social dynamic is healthy -- people are mostly working on projects they find interesting, people are relatively transparent vis-a-vis hierachy. Not too much politics.

Cons

There are parts of the org that are still the wild west (relic of startup culture) but mostly it's a big team now and lots of $ on the line, so the typical challenges of balancing stability with innovation. Some engineers will be frustrated by the Process which is mostly well-intentioned but occasionally rigid. Nobody has ever heard of Criteo outside Paris. Sometimes hard to stomach the company's mission -- when you explain what you do to people the reaction is often negative.

Pros

Almost 7 years in the company, and I still enjoy it a lot. I have grown a lot in the company and with the company. I have been working at a various number of positions, in R&D as Individual contributor, Dev lead , ePM, Engineering Manager, and in different fields : API, plateforme scalability, Network integration, Recommendation, Machine Learning... This is a good match for me, as I get bored easily. I need to change often. I always have found new exciting challenges within Criteo. What I like in this company is that as soon as you have a bit of Karma (proven yourself a bit), the company is supporting you and keen on taking risk on you to bring you where you want to be. I rarely see/heard that in company of that size.

Cons

Current employee evaluation process is made every 6 months. The added value is that you have a great feedback and the process is super fair. Downside is currently it takes a tremendous amount of time to management. We need to fine tune it.

Hello there, Thank you for your feedback! Your point on new challenges and new adventures is absolutely spot on. With the kind of growth we're experiencing, there's opportunity for everyone to stretch themselves and take on something new when they're ready. And it's great to be a part of a company that actually supports it! Separately, your point on the feedback process is very fair. This will be shared with the R&D HR team for their consideration. Best, HR
