Pros

You might not heard of the company, but their ads are all over the internet. The office maintains a great startup culture without crazy long hours. Resulting superb work life balance. The compensation for engineer is at almost Google/Faceable level, I am not sure why it says only 90k here.

Cons

The stock price fluctuates with Europe stock, which is not doing so well lately..

Hello - thank you so much for taking the time to submit a review! Firstly, I would absolutely agree that we need to consciously open up to a more gender-diverse talent pool. This is a huge problem for companies across the Silicon Valley, and definitely for us too. And this doesn't happen by passively waiting for applicants, it needs a deliberate strategy. So PLEASE help in the recruiting process by speaking with the local recruiters about this - and what we can do in targeting local universities etc to help address this problem! Thank you for raising it in the conversation. and most importantly - so happy to hear your positive feedback. We put a lot of effort into growing our offices - esp our Dev Center in Palo Alto - and we want it to continue being an engaging place for our engineers! Best, HR

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.
