Pros

- High salary, but a big part of it is indexed on hidden objectives that are only magically revealed when bonus is attributed. - Huge cluster and computing power, which is downside too as adding features is prioritary compared to writing clean and efficient code. - Very knowledgeable and great colleagues. - Possibility to attend conferences although they are adding more and more validation layers upon this.

Cons

- Management is hectic. Criteo has no vision and only reacts last minute to the problems when they are unavoidable. Innovative projects are launched, ran, and killed for no reason one week before going to prod. - Politics is everything at Criteo. Never ever get in trouble with higher management or your career is dead, you may even get fired. The internal rewarding program for exceptional performance "spot awards" should be renamed "friend awards" given how obvious are the relationships between the winners and the management. - Dev lead have no manager abilities and since they have been asked to have numbers, they are pressuring devs like crazy, imposing their decisions, micro managing, harassing.
