      Not an innovation company anymore. Make money or make room for somebody who will.

      Pros

      - High salary, but a big part of it is indexed on hidden objectives that are only magically revealed when bonus is attributed. - Huge cluster and computing power, which is downside too as adding features is prioritary compared to writing clean and efficient code. - Very knowledgeable and great colleagues. - Possibility to attend conferences although they are adding more and more validation layers upon this.

      Cons

      - Management is hectic. Criteo has no vision and only reacts last minute to the problems when they are unavoidable. Innovative projects are launched, ran, and killed for no reason one week before going to prod. - Politics is everything at Criteo. Never ever get in trouble with higher management or your career is dead, you may even get fired. The internal rewarding program for exceptional performance "spot awards" should be renamed "friend awards" given how obvious are the relationships between the winners and the management. - Dev lead have no manager abilities and since they have been asked to have numbers, they are pressuring devs like crazy, imposing their decisions, micro managing, harassing.

      Pros

      - Nice people, some good events

      Cons

      - insanely pushy management - sometimes pushing solutions that are not for client-benefit, rather only benefitial for the teamlead's or manager's benefit - micro-management at its best - heavy workload (very large portfolios) - bad administration - career opportunities: yes, if your French! - dying business (model) Honestly, it's a sign if young talent keeps leaving the company and wanting out asap.

      Thank you for taking the time to give your feedback on your experience. We work to assess performance of our employees in a fair and consistent way through our evolving Perform & Develop approach, and as we assess internal promotions, as well as appointments to new roles – we work to appoint the right candidate for any given role, taking into account all strands of diversity. To retain our position as a leader in technology advertising solutions, we’re a target driven business, but we work to support every team member in achieving or even over-achieving their objectives. As we move through a transition to a multi-product Company we’re shifting to become more customer centric, and we know we have strides to make here, and our new strategy puts the Customer at the centre of that.
