Great Opportunity for Junior Position

Ad operation specialist

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Coming from the industry already, I was impressed by the management and how they are always pushing you to go for the best and reach the extra mile, still recognizing your efforts and performances. Atmosphere is very positive and you will be surrounded by brilliant people at all level of the company. The company is also providing many great benefits such as Health Insurance, Ticket Restaurant and Transport, but also Learning tools and modules with certifications.

Cons

The Ad Operation Role at Criteo is a junior position with no customer facing. If you already have experience in the industry this can be quite repetitive. On a general base Criteo tends to hire overqualified people at every level of the company (at least in the technical team), which creates some frustrations on the long term.

Pros

- You can learn a lot from the global and regional team if you want to connect with them - Criteo encourages employees to be innovative and develop themselves via many great elearning platform and workshops - Many young and talented people globally who are very nice and willing to share their knowledge - You can literally learn technical and soft skills and your efforts will be recognized - Real time data allows employees to know whether their strategy works - Real nice colleagues at the office - Opportunities to move horizontally to other teams as long as you fit into the role - World class analytics tools and platforms

Cons

-Unfortunately, since 2 years ago, there are many wrong hires who do not fit into the culture and many of them are in the senior management, causing ICs to be demoralized - Criteo culture used to be collaborative, and people work hard together to get things done. Unfortunately, many of the wrong hires in the senior management like to push back and do not add value to the team at all. As a result, many talented individuals choose to leave the company - Many wrong acqusition was done in the past, causing slow movement in product development - Dependency on google and facebook - Too late to be in the app environment. The company needs to diversify its technology in order to be great again
