Pros

- Excellent offices, benefits & social events - Salaries are above BCN standards, but living-costs raises year over year - There are still fun, outgoing, smart and hyper-talented people in Criteo - I never taught of meeting people at work that would become lifetime friends, at Criteo I can say it happens - Founder rejoined as CEO, which sparked new vision & strategy - Internal mobility, after one year you can apply for jobs worldwide - Some positive changes in the management team, but still work to do!

Cons

- Still a lot of improvement for mid to upper-level management in MM. There are still some ego-trippers with no great ideas/leadership skills - No decent career pathing in MM, being promoted isn't challenging at all - Although Criteos core values always embraced `no fear`. Be scared when you're too vocal. You'll likely end up being labeled as a `bad influence`, although you act in the interest of the company - Tremendous employee turnover; people leave out of frustration/boredom/can't cope with management or get let go for not being a cultural fit/making their target (which mostly is the manager's fault of not knowing how to lead a team) - The product itself might not be future proof; Last year Apple was on our back with ITP, and if you read tech articles the future looks grim...

Good work life balance, all young people.

Cons

Taking away perks that we have had for a long time. Eventually reach your cap as an IC.

Pros

People I worked with and the culture was great, work life balance was fantastic.

Cons

Every year now it layoffs, makes one want to ask a question. Perhaps Criteo needs a better CFO to manage the companies finances. Being every year Criteo is laying people off, yet CFO still remains. Perhaps Criteo needs to look at those who are staying a bit closer.
