Nice company with some structural inefficiencies

Pros

Criteo is a fine place to work, I'm fairly confident it is the best tech company to work for in France. Criteo's culture is very performance driven, and engineers apply all the best practices in the field. Criteo also has a lot data to work with, which is a data scientist and machine learning practitioner's dream. Technologies used are fairly top notch, Criteo has its own data centers, its own SRE and Infra departments, and many tools to ease the development and deployment processes that rival those of cloud platforms.

Cons

The company is somewhat stuck in a limbo between a small startup and a big tech company. It's engineering department is concentrated in France (since it's SF branch has closed), which makes it rather close-minded and less open to the adoption of new and state-of-the-art technologies. The development processes are fairly slow moving, which have made the company fail to diversify its product portfolio in recent years (although it's going a bit better lately). There are several structural inefficiencies, starting from a very big pile of technical debt, that you need to circumvent and adapt to in order to make new products and produce value (it takes effort but it's possible).

The people there are great. Extremely capable people and great all around

Cons

The job can get stale at times. And there is some middle management where you question whether or not the position is needed.
