Cons
-Confusing career progression outside of R&D Criteo highly prioritizes R&D and it shows. R&D has very straight forward career any salary progression. As R&D is the life blood of innovation, it makes sense. However, most other positions are left on the outside looking in, and faced with a confusing/muddy view of how they can progress in there career. Furthermore, internal promotion into senior management positions almost never happens. With little to know career paths planned out, and external hiring, it can feel like you are spinning your wheels. After a certain number of raises, it can quickly feel like you've reached your cap and you'll need to go elsewhere to get a high salary/responsibility level. However, even if that is the route you go, Criteo is still a great stop on your career progression and to have on your resume.
