Pros
I don't know where to start. I have only been working here for a couple of months, and I know I'm still in the honeymoon phase, but this is the best company I have ever worked for. I have worked in startupland for the last 5 years, and it is so wonderful to work for a company that really works. The people are smart and passionate. The core technology is great. The product works for our customers. Compensation is great. Management seems to be making the right decisions at the top, and my immediate management team is awesome. Employees all seem to be on board with the company, loyal and happy. You can really feel that this is a healthy company that is WORKING. We all know that we are on a winning ticket, and it feels so good to be a part of something big that is happening in the industry.
Cons
If you are entrepreneurial, this isn't the place where you will get to run anything (but management is really reasonable - they give you the tools to do your job and let you get on with it). Some of the senior management are a bit hands off for my liking, not bothering to speak to the underlings. Ok, one guy is like that.

We're glad to hear you've enjoyed your experience with us so far. We believe our people are what makes our company culture uniquely great, so it is nice to see you appreciate it as well. We work in a fast-paced industry that has been evolving a lot over the past years, so it can take some time to get acquainted with the products and technologies we use.

At Criteo, we're all about teamwork and a supportive spirit so never hold back if you have questions. Everyone will be more than happy to help for sure!

Awesome place to work! Great people, great technology
Dec 3, 2014 - Anonymous Employee in New York, NYRecommendCEO ApprovalBusiness OutlookPros
Criteo's performance marketing technology is amazing, and continually being enhanced. The company is an industry trailblazer and it's because of the smart people working together with positive energy. We're growing fast globally, especially in the US so it's a nice time to be at the company to see it evolve post-IPO.
Cons
Not many! Criteo is growing fast, so lots of new people navigating.

The NYC office has it's plus' and minus'.
Feb 28, 2015 - Business Development Manager in New York, NYRecommendCEO ApprovalBusiness OutlookPros
The product works. They hire really smart and talented people
Cons
Working for a foreign company whose country has a lot of rules forcing employee benefits and living in a country that doesn't means you don't get the same level of benefits they do. There's little transparency from management into what else is being worked on to keep evolving.

Hi there - thank you for your honest feedback! Communication and transparency is actually a big priority for us, and your comments show that we still have more room to grow in this area. We couldn't do that without honest feedback from people like you, so again - really appreciate it. As always, if there's more specifics that you can provide to help us improve in exactly the right ways that would have impact, please do raise these with your HR team or your manager. Criteo is a fantastic company with a great future, and we would hate for something that could be easily corrected to damage our employee experience.
