Pros

Decent benefits Very young culture so good fit to start first job for those who may have little experience or expectation Relocation mobility can also be quite fluid Annual global employee summit in Europe, party like you're in college ( ideal for those who likes to be rewarded in that manner)

Cons

Poor leadership skills, people managers are promoted when they are not the right fit. About 70% of managers are first time managers and may have no clear direction on handling matters (Drill them with questions in your interview so u get an idea) Rapid fire and hire culture in sales Lack of learning and development courses, Company do not nurture staff in personal development Start-up vibe with very messy internal re-org in Asia right now, so if you are looking for something stable and have commitments, it's not advisable Very very long working hours and Founders of the company do not encourage working from home policy ( maybe except for the US) No clear career path for non-sales + technical roles Depending on your role, decisions and control can be quite French centric

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.
