Pros

R&D department is run well, relatively small/agile teams with lots of autonomy. Good technology, smart engineers, nice office, good compensation. Human element/social dynamic is healthy -- people are mostly working on projects they find interesting, people are relatively transparent vis-a-vis hierachy. Not too much politics.

Cons

There are parts of the org that are still the wild west (relic of startup culture) but mostly it's a big team now and lots of $ on the line, so the typical challenges of balancing stability with innovation. Some engineers will be frustrated by the Process which is mostly well-intentioned but occasionally rigid. Nobody has ever heard of Criteo outside Paris. Sometimes hard to stomach the company's mission -- when you explain what you do to people the reaction is often negative.

Pros

Kept the start-up and geek culture. A vast majority of people are working on the same direction. There is almost no inertia when you want to change a process or a system: everything can be quickly implemented. They have a tremendous yearly summit (no other company can compete here!) with lot of entertainment and knowledge sharing.

Cons

Career development is in the process of being implemented. I understand they pointed out this issue and make their best to remediate. As everything changes very quickly, some people will not like this unstable environment. At the end this type of unstable/unformal environment is challenging for everybody (if you don't like to be challenged, it's probably not a place where to work).

Pros

Working at Criteo is just so much fun. Coming to the office is a pleasure as well as a challenge and that's what great about it. You can never get bored as things change all the time and you need to adapt yourself every day. This is not a company for people who like things "stable" and low paced. Since I arrived at Criteo, I was able to work with employees from all over the world and travel/live in London, Tokyo and Barcelona (I'm in the Paris office). Even if the work can be tough sometimes, the team spirit, Criteo culture and work environement in general are there to help you through it. What's not to like ?

Cons

At Criteo, we are expected to represente the values of the company and therefore, if you are not proactive, if you do not like challenges and if you are incapable of surviving a little stress sometimes, you won't fit and won't manage very long in the company. Criteo is not an "easy" company where things flow nicely and peacefully so you need to be 100% all the time and you need to love it.
