Pros

The work environment, relationships and incentives are sane and positive. People in your teams have a good skills and they are happy to be here and willing to help or to improve. The feeling that "we are in the same boat" dominates largely over any scope rivalry or counter productive incentives. The engineering culture is largely bottom-up: as individual contributor you can really push ideas or technologies through, you are encouraged (and reasonably well empowered) to take ownership of anything relevant. The culture is pretty international and taps into an interesting mix of "typical" US and French cultures, especially combining lightweight hierarchy with large autonomy in our missions.

Cons

Criteo is a bit "in-between" and this fuzzyness can be unsettling: not yet a giant of tech but not a startup any longer ; you are encouraged to challenges the rules but within established processes ; you are empowered also mean you can not expect precise scopes and objectives in some respect. Personally I like this in-between globally, but it can be exhausting at time and you have to be okay with this "meta-game".

Pros

Excellent benefits, competitive pay, travel when it makes sense and to advance your knowledge/career, willing to work to make your job what you want it to be. As a former HookLogic employee, I would have doubted that I could have found as good a place to work, but Criteo has exceeded my expectations. I have been able to work with Senior Management to directly carve out advancement opportunities not only for myself, but also all the people who work for me. Plain and simple, this company takes care of its employees. The Ann Arbor office is still given some autonomy but with the support of a larger organization structure with hundreds of experts in any and all area at our disposal.

Cons

Some HR issues after the acquisition, but overall difficult to find any cons!

Pros

One can leave very big impact because Palo Alto office is used for new project|products and they are mostly independent from HQ. So you have a feel of midsize company (think 50 engineers) but stability and perks of big company (~500 engineers). They like initiative and encourage engineers to think about big picture and come up with what to do. And the last point is cool cultural mix. The company was born in France but french are minority in this office so don't be afraid of being overwhelmed. As for work and life balance. I keep hearing that so much from my friends working in Sillicon Valley. I think Criteo is unique in SV. Work-life balance here is not something HR are trying to force for people not to burn out. It is natural here. Just look at amount of day offs and respected holidays.

Cons

There is 10 hours difference with HQ
