Pros

Company still have cash. One rare ad-tech company that's still making some money. (Not so sure once we go into 2019) Competitive salary, compensation package amongst top bay area companies. Lots of work that are either ML related to close to ML needs .

Cons

The Palo Alto office is mostly for Silicon Valley presence need, does not have decision making power at exec-level. People who move from Paris to PaloAlto gets preferential treatments. They get picked for important projects first, will never get fired no matter how bad they perform. All European/Eastern-European manager are blocking knowledge/information from Paris headquarter and favors only those from same ethnic/language background. No transparency in peer review system (Managers can take credits away from your work without your knowledge)

Pros

Great product! Hopeful for the future!

Cons

I’ve been with Criteo for less than one year. I was very pleased to receive an offer. Today, I was laid off from Criteo. In a five minute digital meeting with my boss, she informed me that my position was eliminated (“a reduction in force, decision not reflective of my performance, return your laptop in 30 days, etc.”), and then she left the meeting so that the HR Manager could provide the logistics of my unplanned departure. The end. This is not my first time being laid off. It is, however, the first time that a lay off felt impersonal. As I was signing my digital paperwork, my boss shot over to me a message via Slack, saying, “So sorry. Best of luck!” No messages from the leaders or the team. Four individual colleagues reached out to share their sadness, appreciation and best wishes before my systems access was shut off. That’s all. I truly feel like a number who was erased. What happened to the relationships that I had established? Did I mean nothing to them? Any appreciation? Did I achieve anything? It feels like a year of my life wasted. If this is the Future of Work, I don’t want it.

Pros

Generous vacation policy and the people I work with are generally pleasant

Cons

Leadership is clueless in how the day to day operations work. In the last 2 years the entire executive team has turned over but the CFO. French leadership doesn't not understand nuances of US market from both a client and talent perspective.
