Pros

Incredible co-workers; best retargeting tech out there; super-smart R&D folks in Paris; global presence; legit revenue generation; clients value the core product

Cons

Unable to find a strategy if it hit C-level execs in the face. CEO and others sourced from largely old-school business, such as Neilsen. CEO hires contacts vs. actual industry experts, so you get a "flight software guy" hired to understand Sales in digital media. Wow! No understanding of how to engineer around Google/AAPL restrictions, Too much abandonment of performance marketing to be a "SaaS platform". Not much advancement outside of Paris / maybe NY.

Hello, we're glad to read that you strongly appreciated the people you worked with during your time in our NY office and we'd like to thank you for the contribution you made during your 5-7 years with us. We recently announced our transformation strategy to pivot into a Commerce Media Platform, leveraging both our strong tech assets and long-standing relationships with retailers, which you mention. We're building this platform by leveraging our strong Retail Media and Marketing Solutions assets to provide a full suite of media planning and selling services. We truly believe this evolution in our strategy and product offering is key for future expansion. Thanks for taking the time to write this review, wishing you all the best in the future.

High Burn Out - Decelerating Fast

Recommend
Business Outlook

Pros

People are incredibly smart, and care so much to make things work/grow. Teaming up with Ax, Sales, etc was the best part of working for Criteo. If you can handle ambiguity, you’ll thrive here.

Cons

Not a lot of career advancement (even before COVID). As the business grew, they didn’t invest in supporting departments which left FP&A or SalesOps working night/weekends frequently without relief. You’ll work at 120% capacity your entire time there. The thrill will be enough at first, but burn out is inevitable.

Pros

Coming from the industry already, I was impressed by the management and how they are always pushing you to go for the best and reach the extra mile, still recognizing your efforts and performances. Atmosphere is very positive and you will be surrounded by brilliant people at all level of the company. The company is also providing many great benefits such as Health Insurance, Ticket Restaurant and Transport, but also Learning tools and modules with certifications.

Cons

The Ad Operation Role at Criteo is a junior position with no customer facing. If you already have experience in the industry this can be quite repetitive. On a general base Criteo tends to hire overqualified people at every level of the company (at least in the technical team), which creates some frustrations on the long term.
