Pros

The culture at Criteo is amazing. Working on the sales team is exciting and fun, and there's opportunity to make quite a bit of money in commissions. Tthere's typical bureaucracy (i.e. waiting on higher ups for approval of certain things) but you'll find that anywhere.

Cons

Not a Criteo "con" necessarily, more so just the reality of working for a truly global company can be frustrating at times as we have to consider things that don't always have a direct impact on us, i.e. Covid-19. If things are bad in one part of the world but totally normal in another, there's sometimes the chance that you will still be affected on a company wide scale.

Pros

Incredible co-workers; best retargeting tech out there; super-smart R&D folks in Paris; global presence; legit revenue generation; clients value the core product

Cons

Unable to find a strategy if it hit C-level execs in the face. CEO and others sourced from largely old-school business, such as Neilsen. CEO hires contacts vs. actual industry experts, so you get a "flight software guy" hired to understand Sales in digital media. Wow! No understanding of how to engineer around Google/AAPL restrictions, Too much abandonment of performance marketing to be a "SaaS platform". Not much advancement outside of Paris / maybe NY.

Hello, we're glad to read that you strongly appreciated the people you worked with during your time in our NY office and we'd like to thank you for the contribution you made during your 5-7 years with us. We recently announced our transformation strategy to pivot into a Commerce Media Platform, leveraging both our strong tech assets and long-standing relationships with retailers, which you mention. We're building this platform by leveraging our strong Retail Media and Marketing Solutions assets to provide a full suite of media planning and selling services. We truly believe this evolution in our strategy and product offering is key for future expansion. Thanks for taking the time to write this review, wishing you all the best in the future.

High Burn Out - Decelerating Fast

Pros

People are incredibly smart, and care so much to make things work/grow. Teaming up with Ax, Sales, etc was the best part of working for Criteo. If you can handle ambiguity, you’ll thrive here.

Cons

Not a lot of career advancement (even before COVID). As the business grew, they didn’t invest in supporting departments which left FP&A or SalesOps working night/weekends frequently without relief. You’ll work at 120% capacity your entire time there. The thrill will be enough at first, but burn out is inevitable.
