Pros

Company wide summit to Europe. Company is profitable Company is growing. Cool Paris office.

Cons

Acquired companies are forced to move to Paris or Palo Alto. Engineering culture is centrally focused. Engineering talent in Palo Alto is not the best compared to other companies in the valley

Hello, thank you for your feedback - appreciate you taking the time to send this, and sorry that you obviously experienced some areas of frustration. When we acquire companies, we do try as much as possible to have our R&D teams consolidated into our Dev Centers. This is a critical part of the culture of collaboration and information sharing we have built. The teams actively work together on brainstorming and idea-generation, and this is much more easily facilitated when the team is co-located in a single office. Having said this, as you may know from our recent acquistion of HookLogic, we will actually sustain their Dev Center in Ann Arbor, because of the critical mass of employees that we already have their - and the criticality of their talent. With our engineering teams, consolidation is important (and one of our top strengths), however we are practical on what makes the most sense in terms of supporting and promoting the growth of our business. Unfortunately it sounds like this was not for you, and we regret that we weren't able to make this fit in with your own personal priorities. Best, HR

Pros

It's French! The company was not founded in the US. It is therefore way more international and interconnected and culturally diverse than most other companies can even claim to be. This is a ridiculously excellent bonus. They also show respect and importance to offices in all regions. In the Palo Alto office, people work hard but are genuinely nice and helpful. You cohort with people cross-department. There is good food and a clean sink in the kitchen. People eat lunch together. Poker night, and of course in start-up culture fashion, there can be some alcohol in the fridge. That one fact is proof that adults are treated as adults. The location in Palo Alto is perfect (way better than the SF location). In Palo Alto, there is decent parking, te ability to get a parking permit for a garages and great places to eat at the end of the block.

Cons

Random shake-ups in management. In hindsight more visibility into why the changes happen - not just standard back-story during the announcement itself, would be helpful. Some of my fellow Americans has issues with HQ being in France such as time lag, or feeling a bit less important, having less say. While time lag causes issues in any company, the other stuff is American bias. Offices are worldwide, US can't be catered to

Hello - thank you so much for your feedback! Firstly, if you like our Palo Alto office now, can't wait what you'll have to say about the new one we're opening next year. We're excited to continue our growth and expansion in PA, for all the reasons you listed above! And we absolutely agree with you that our diversity and international-ness are some of our biggest virtues and what makes us unique. It adds so much richness and character to the company we are, and we hope to continue fostering that environment as we continue to grow. It's what makes us special. It's what makes us Criteo. Best, HR
