Pros
- Many talents and experts specialized in Software Engineering, Machine Learning, AI and Statistical Modeling,
- Criteo provides multiple events and training to make sure employees stay at the top of the industry and get the opportunity to learn a lot. I received a ticket for NIPS conference (sold out in 11min) after 6 months within the firm. We have weekly events to meet and discuss research papers and industry applications of quantitative methods,
- Criteo is constantly innovating, projects are extremely interesting and it is very easy to share thoughts within the team (managers are all good communicators - they are here to give you constructive advises), and across teams (Criteo also encourages mobility),
- Management is constantly looking for new product opportunities and is open to new ideas (via a formal established process, or unformal talks).
- Lots of free food, beverages, and social events,
- Great Culture (go check the video Criteo gogogo),
- Amazing work life balance,
- The Paris office is extremely impressive, we go grab lunch on the rooftop with a view on the Eiffel Tower and the Sacre Coeur, we have all kind of goodies, lots of space and light,
- Very generous vacation package, many small advantages (gym contribution, vacation contribution, transportation and other discounts) and strong compensation package.
- Recruitment process is extremely smooth and clear, every interviewer went though a long training process to make sure the assessment will be fair, and HR does its best to make the process pleasant and constructive.
Cons
Once you get in here, it's very hard to leave.
