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

Great data learning

Pros

Extremely data driven company. The core product is a machine learning engine that predicts consumer intent. Largest Hadoop cluster in europe, with a large variety of data uses and tools. Awesome place to learn SQL, Hadoop/Hive, Tableau, AB-testing, etc. Friendly and awesome offices around the world. Respectful of individual differences.

Cons

Although Criteo is amongst the top companies that enable the Internet to be free (advertising fuels content creation and access to information), I find Criteo doesn't have a great focus on it's actual impact on the world.

Best learning experience ever

Pros

- very challenging environment - time flies - you learn a lot in a very short amount of time - great people mentality - incredible career opportunities - right mix between tough enough to make you grow out of your comfort zone and human to support you when in need - competitive compensation - international vibe - Management let you be yourself and in charge Pros if you're ambitious, hard worker and like to be challenged.

Cons

- high amount of work can affect hours & stress (adapted to "work priority" period of life/people) - be prepared to either make it or risk your job (you need to embrace challenge to be happy) - a lot of basic structural improvements in process (leaves room to handle projects/have an impact) Cons if you're not the matching personality fit which Criteo avoids hiring.
