Pros

Great benefits. Awesome office manager in Palo Alto.

Cons

Poor management; everything is run out of Paris so there is a lot of miscommunication. Terrible internal support. They have a rule that says you cannot switch roles until you have worked there for a year

Hi - thank you for your honest feedback. It's important to us so we know where we can focus our efforts. Firstly, glad you like the benefits and are giving our Office Manager a shout out! :) Separately, thanks for raising the concern around everything being run out of Paris. As with every company, some things will always need to be globally compliant whereas in other areas we're trying to develop independence within the regions. This is an area of high importance to us, so we do encourage you to discuss this in more detail with your manager or HR! Finally - the rule on internal transfers is a standard policy most companies have, and it essentially ensures that employees have sufficient time to prove themselves in a role as well as sufficient time to assess the company and the ideal opportunity for themselves before making another career move. Mobility (both local and international!) are an important investment we make, and we constantly have a high % of employees transfering across roles and countries. Hope we can find the right career growth opportunity for you after you've completed your year in your current role! Again - appreciate your feedback and candour, it's important to us so we can continue to improve.

Good work life balance, all young people.

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.
