Pros

This company is a rocket ship. A great ride. It is successful and growing because it is founded by and populated with a lot of wicked smart people creating, improving, selling, implementing and managing an advertising solution that actually produces outstandng results for its clients. It is growing rapidly but is still approachable. It is re-investing its own profits in growing the company. Visit our offices in Paris, London, NYC, Tokyo, Palo Alto, etc. and you will find a founder or an early stage employee sitting at a table working (yes working hard) but doing so because they see that they are involved in a true WIN/WIN/WIN situation. You might also see that person sharing a meal or a game of ping-pong.

Cons

If you are looking for an easy job, working as few hours as possible, you should stop reading this review and move on to the next company. There are plenty of bloated companies out there that might want you to join them so you can hide behind your monitor waiting for 5P. Let me address some of the Cons I have read in other reviews: 1) There is plenty of free food 2) If you don't like reporting on your sales progress - you should be thinking about another profession. 3) If you don't like Yahoo guys - good luck, they are running a disproportionate amount of stuff out there, not just at Criteo 4) Healthcare is now best of class 5) Offices are great - check out Paris, London, NYC - all new within the last 6 months I too have seen the changes in the team and management over the past 2 years - and with a couple of exceptions I can say that those people who were terminated were let go for good reason. No one at Criteo takes terminating any employee lightly. One CON - yes, another week of PTO would be appreciated.

Pros

Smart, hardworking people at the individual contributor level (many of whom are now gone). Little micro-managing, but that’s because everyone’s bandwidth is near 0

Cons

Post–new CEO, the company has descended into complete chaos. There is no transparency around decisions that impact teams and roles. There have been consistent strategy, personnel, and supplier changes with no explanation, accountability, or follow-through. Cons, continued: Employee input and performance do not matter. Decisions feel driven by appeasing BoD and optics rather than results, input and reality. The culture has become a corporate hellscape of: Endless reorganizations with no clear rationale, including layoffs with no reasoning Vague all-hands meetings that avoid real issues, even when directly asked A massive disconnect between the C-suite and day-to-day reality Eroded trust and growing position insecurity Middle managers incentivized to prioritize managing up & executive optics over team advocacy “Return to Office” policy put in place when promised a “Work from Anywhere” position, where the RTO policy differs across employees’ location Little to no growth opportunities despite high performance Under-market average compensation that was justified by locale, “Work from Anywhere”, and flexibility — which was recently rolled back A clear favoritism to those that “talk the talk” vs “performance with numbers”
