Pros

Very strong and modest R&D people Respect for technical people : you won't get stuck if you don't want to become a manager Ability to make a visible difference in many different ways and be congratulated publicly for that Young and fun atmosphere, with lots of events Very humble and accessible cofounders Strong will to identify and kill problems Freedom of speech : anonymous questions (sometimes harsh) are discussed openly by C-level in front of the whole company

Cons

As in any company growing this fast : useless layers (both human and administrative) between decisions and execution, even though there's always a way to bypass them Ambitious hiring plan, but no clear vision on internal promotion opportunities

Good work life balance, all young people.

Taking away perks that we have had for a long time. Eventually reach your cap as an IC.

Pros

People I worked with and the culture was great, work life balance was fantastic.

Cons

Every year now it layoffs, makes one want to ask a question. Perhaps Criteo needs a better CFO to manage the companies finances. Being every year Criteo is laying people off, yet CFO still remains. Perhaps Criteo needs to look at those who are staying a bit closer.

Through the way they connect, build each other up, and impact one another, people make Criteo into a unique workplace every day, and we’re glad it's something you appreciated during your time with us. When it comes to our company’s future, decisions are never arbitrary but made with shared responsibility, maximum transparency, and bearing our long-term organizational health in mind. Yet, receiving open feedback, whether positive or not, is always valuable to us, so thank you for sharing yours. We wish you the best for what comes next.
