      Pros

      Very cool working environment - events - day to day workplace experiences; Top work-life balance, not a lot of pressure; Pay is above market level, which gets people to stay and not really question themselves on how they perform and on how they can improve; Brilliant minds from all over the world but also....

      Cons

      ...a toxic culture that has quickly spread thanks to low motivated and/or frustrated people that have been there for years and do not want/like to be challenged and to step out of their little comfort zone; Close to no meritocracy, and lots (lots) of politics; Company culture isn't clear and doesn't correspond to what is being displayed on the marketing / employer branding side - rarely will you meet that much close-mindedness; Management is highly questionable - you begin to wonder for some if they have been trained or guided to embrace those roles

      Thank you for sharing your thoughts about your experience working at Criteo. Hopefully you have had a chance to read our recent communications about improvements to our performance management process aimed at ensuring a fair measure of performance. The appointment of our new CEO, Megan Clarken, provides the ‘shake-up’ you call for and our new company values, developed using a ‘bottom-up’ approach, will be launched early in 2020. We are building a refreshed identity and renewed determination to be the leading advertising platform for the open internet and, even more importantly, an employer of choice. Denis Collin, EVP People

      Pros

      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.
