Pros

My experience here was nothing but positive. I was at the company for 3 glorious years and, in hindsight, attribute my happiness to the effectiveness of my manager. My manager had TRUST in me. My manager asked me what I needed to better do my job - whether is was more resources, access to a platform, or a day OFF. I was very very lucky to have such an amazing manager. Under this sort of management, I turned nothing into a LOT. Millions in incremental revenue....and all the praise and recognition that one could hope for. I had an amazing experience here. I worked my a global role and could not have asked for a better group of people to work with...and from all over the world. This was truly my favorite aspect. That I built long last relationships in places like India, South Korea and Spain.

Cons

Not everyone was as lucky as me, though. I know a ton of really talented people who left because their managers were terrible. I wish HR was more in-tune and responsive to this...I’m not trying to be critical but if HR paid attention to this, there are certain leaders that would have be ousted a lot sooner. HR asks for feedback on a regular basis so either they don’t take appropriate action based on complaints, or official complaints aren’t being filed/documented.

Thank you for taking the time to share your experiences of working at Criteo. I’m glad to hear that you had such a positive relationship with your manager. This is certainly the example we love to hear. Equally, your honest feedback regarding our Engagement Survey and Manager Capability is much appreciated. We are taking more deliberate steps to action the feedback we receive in the annual survey, including refreshing our existing programmes and launching new improved training for all our managers in 2019. I thank you for the 3 years you were on our team and I'm happy for you to contact me with any further feedback. Denis Collin, EVP People.

Pros

I consider myself a Silicon Valley veteran as I've worked for quite a few companies in the valley. Criteo is one of the greatest companies I've worked for. Lots of smart and talented people. Some of them are super nice too. :) Top notch pay and benefits (has to be deserved, obviously). Flat structure. This implies that employees are treated as adults and expected to behave like adults. Open and honest communication from the top (very little BS or propaganda) Truly diverse with all ages, origins, accents, genders, and orientations treated with respect. Everybody is encouraged to be themselves and treat each other with respect. Voyager program designed for those who want to work for a month in other parts of the world. (The travel policy though is not very friendly to those with families and kids.) After you have earned some karma, you'll have freedom to do what you think is important (which sometimes can run into some political barriers) It is a midsize company which means that there are enough resources to support you and that you can still have a meaningful impact on company's bottom line A lot of focus on hiring the right people. I think it is super important. Lots of challenges and opportunities

Cons

A bit slow to deal with people who don't fit well. (though there is a delicate balance) "One size fits all" travel policy is too restrictive for employees with families. ESPP is missing to make the perks package complete The company is growing so fast that there is a legitimate concern over maintaining the company culture.

Hello - thank you so much for your strong feedback! Despite our rapid growth, we put a lot of conscious effort and thought into trying to maintain an organizational structure where employees continue to be challenged and add value to the business bottom line, so hearing this feedback was especially gratifying. Thank you! In terms of maintaining the employee culture, we are recently making strides with defining our employee value proposition which will work like a compass for our culture as we continue to scale. You may have already been asked to participate in focus groups around this, but if not, if this is an area you are passionate about and would like an opportunity to provide input, please reach out to your HRBP! Best HR
