      Pros

      I consider myself a Silicon Valley veteran as I've worked for quite a few companies in the valley. Criteo is one of the greatest companies I've worked for. Lots of smart and talented people. Some of them are super nice too. :) Top notch pay and benefits (has to be deserved, obviously). Flat structure. This implies that employees are treated as adults and expected to behave like adults. Open and honest communication from the top (very little BS or propaganda) Truly diverse with all ages, origins, accents, genders, and orientations treated with respect. Everybody is encouraged to be themselves and treat each other with respect. Voyager program designed for those who want to work for a month in other parts of the world. (The travel policy though is not very friendly to those with families and kids.) After you have earned some karma, you'll have freedom to do what you think is important (which sometimes can run into some political barriers) It is a midsize company which means that there are enough resources to support you and that you can still have a meaningful impact on company's bottom line A lot of focus on hiring the right people. I think it is super important. Lots of challenges and opportunities

      Cons

      A bit slow to deal with people who don't fit well. (though there is a delicate balance) "One size fits all" travel policy is too restrictive for employees with families. ESPP is missing to make the perks package complete The company is growing so fast that there is a legitimate concern over maintaining the company culture.

      Hello - thank you so much for your strong feedback! Despite our rapid growth, we put a lot of conscious effort and thought into trying to maintain an organizational structure where employees continue to be challenged and add value to the business bottom line, so hearing this feedback was especially gratifying. Thank you! In terms of maintaining the employee culture, we are recently making strides with defining our employee value proposition which will work like a compass for our culture as we continue to scale. You may have already been asked to participate in focus groups around this, but if not, if this is an area you are passionate about and would like an opportunity to provide input, please reach out to your HRBP! Best HR

      Challenging projects, great work life balance, multi-cultural environment

      Pros

      Impressive tech stack. Still a good mix of startup spirit and big company: 'No fear' approach on the one hand and all needed resources to try on the other (talents, infrastructure). If a project failed/late/killed - happens, keep moving (no blame/punishment). Proactivity is encouraged and expected: no matter how junior you are, new ideas are welcomed (of course there is a challenge to get them planned). I.e. there is a Hackathon every year which gives the winners an opportunity to work on their projects. Internal mobility: managers try to take into account engineers preferences and help to change the scope if a guy doesn't want to work on the topiс anymore (unfortunately not always possible, but the effort is away bigger than in my previous companies). Also, there is a cross-offices Voyager program: any engineer can join another R&D team for a few weeks to learn new stuff. Diverse environment: >10 nationalities for appx 100 people in the office. Work-life balance: no work during the weekends or late in the evening, flexible working hours (people can shift a bit their schedule when needed, can WFH occasionally; no official WFH policy though). Reasonable management: most managers have regular 1-1s with their direct reports + occasional ones with the rest (i.e. anybody can request a 1-1 with any Director or VP); top management is open for discussions on any topic (even negative anonymous reviews are being discussed in a positive manner: 'lets brainstorm together what we can do better')

      Cons

      Working with HQ in Paris is challenging due to 9 hours difference + lots of technical dependencies (management tries to mitigate it by having isolated projects when possible, but it's still hard). Less variety of projects than in Paris (natural for any non-HQ office and difficult to change). Diving stock price (and no recipe to fix it so far) Quarterly planning is heavy and takes lots of time.

      Pros

      I found no pros in working for this company.

      Cons

      Company culture is toxic, aggressive and recognition to individual contributors is more important than team effort. The leadership does not hire on cultural fit, so you have a bunch of people that share nothing in common. My worst experience in the corporate world in a 15 year career.
