Mass expansion in Asia with messy politics

Pros

Decent benefits Very young culture so good fit to start first job for those who may have little experience or expectation Relocation mobility can also be quite fluid Annual global employee summit in Europe, party like you're in college ( ideal for those who likes to be rewarded in that manner)

Cons

Poor leadership skills, people managers are promoted when they are not the right fit. About 70% of managers are first time managers and may have no clear direction on handling matters (Drill them with questions in your interview so u get an idea) Rapid fire and hire culture in sales Lack of learning and development courses, Company do not nurture staff in personal development Start-up vibe with very messy internal re-org in Asia right now, so if you are looking for something stable and have commitments, it's not advisable Very very long working hours and Founders of the company do not encourage working from home policy ( maybe except for the US) No clear career path for non-sales + technical roles Depending on your role, decisions and control can be quite French centric

Pros

6 month in, and I think it's time to make a review of Criteo. Criteo is overall a very good company. I work as a Sales Manager, in our wonderful Barcelona office. Probably the most amazing view from any office I've ever seen (and I've seen a few). What I really enjoy about Criteo is how well the product actually works. As a Sales Manager, this makes my day-to-day life soo much easier and helps me perform. In previous jobs, it was much more about selling the vision, while here with our super transparent setup, you can't really go wrong. In previous jobs, there has always been some distance between senior manage and the people below. This is definitely not the case here. Super friendly people, who have mostly all started their careers in Criteo, which says a bit about the career opportunities in this company. Besides very friendly people, from all over the world, they company really tries to be creative in their social approach. We're not just talking summer and Christmas parties. Almost every week, there is a social event; that being team activities on the beach, cinema evenings or renting a boat and sail on the ocean. As mentioned previous, the Criteo product is really standing out within re-marketing, which makes it a joy to sell. But Criteo is opening up to new trends and products, that will for sure have an impact in the advertising space for the future. They really make sure to hire quality people, which makes the company really stand out, compared to my previous experiences. It's all about the people, and I think they got this right. The company is growing A LOT, which makes sense, as the product work. I had more inbound my first 14 days, that I had for a whole year in my previous role. So top remarks 6 months in. Hopefully this will only get better.

Cons

Obviously no company is picture perfect, but I do think Criteo is doing something right.

Pros

Depending on who you work with and meet, Criteo can be a great example of employee empowerment, that gave me a greater sense of achievement than any other company I've worked for in the past. The yearly summit where everyone from around the world gather in France (HQ) is a unique part of Criteo's culture and a great prop/motivation for employees. It's 2~3 days of drinking and partying (but no food, nothing informative from the C-level, JUST parties).

Cons

Too many young and unseasoned people who aren't quite ready to "be empowered"- there's a great lack of responsibility and ownership. There are also a lot of grey zones around corporate guideline and policies. What made me ultimately consider leaving was the absence of an actual corporate strategy. They really don't have one.
