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

Hello - thank you so much for your feedback! Firstly, if you like our Palo Alto office now, can't wait what you'll have to say about the new one we're opening next year. We're excited to continue our growth and expansion in PA, for all the reasons you listed above! And we absolutely agree with you that our diversity and international-ness are some of our biggest virtues and what makes us unique. It adds so much richness and character to the company we are, and we hope to continue fostering that environment as we continue to grow. It's what makes us special. It's what makes us Criteo. Best, HR

Pros

6 month in, and I think it's time to make a review of Criteo. Criteo is overall a very good company. I work as a Sales Manager, in our wonderful Barcelona office. Probably the most amazing view from any office I've ever seen (and I've seen a few). What I really enjoy about Criteo is how well the product actually works. As a Sales Manager, this makes my day-to-day life soo much easier and helps me perform. In previous jobs, it was much more about selling the vision, while here with our super transparent setup, you can't really go wrong. In previous jobs, there has always been some distance between senior manage and the people below. This is definitely not the case here. Super friendly people, who have mostly all started their careers in Criteo, which says a bit about the career opportunities in this company. Besides very friendly people, from all over the world, they company really tries to be creative in their social approach. We're not just talking summer and Christmas parties. Almost every week, there is a social event; that being team activities on the beach, cinema evenings or renting a boat and sail on the ocean. As mentioned previous, the Criteo product is really standing out within re-marketing, which makes it a joy to sell. But Criteo is opening up to new trends and products, that will for sure have an impact in the advertising space for the future. They really make sure to hire quality people, which makes the company really stand out, compared to my previous experiences. It's all about the people, and I think they got this right. The company is growing A LOT, which makes sense, as the product work. I had more inbound my first 14 days, that I had for a whole year in my previous role. So top remarks 6 months in. Hopefully this will only get better.

Cons

Obviously no company is picture perfect, but I do think Criteo is doing something right.

Pros

Great product, Great management, Great work and play atmosphere.

Cons

Start-up, collaborative culture has somehow been lost in the process of becoming a big organisation. Values are not strong enough and not inherent to the management, recruitment,etc... A shame cause the rest is faultless. Also beware that in the mid-market department, you're meat to the management which has a rather macro view of the human resources there. As long as you're perform, great...
