Pros

Beautiful offices, very international environment, highly cooperative mindset, and new CEO that might change things for good. Competitive salaries.

Cons

Completely unclear roles and responsibilities, with multiple organisational changes decided with absolutely no thinking about the consequences, and no link to strategy (whatever the strategy is). Very disappointed with the lack of vision, the huge amount of politics and ego involved, and the bad execution of any kind of innovation whatsoever - pretty inconvenient for a tech company!

Good work life balance, all young people.

Cons

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.
