Pros

- great way to start your career/make huge knowledge jumps - amazing office view - you will be valuable for a lot of other companies - surrounded by very talented people - great office view Biggest pro: Found the love of my life

Cons

- taking away more and more responsibility - highly talented people are put into boxes - love for detail gets totally lost - a lot of pressure due to share prices - past achievements are worth nothing - bad communication between departments - totally understaffed - salary is high for Spain but nothing compared to what people would earn with international experience, tech background and multiple languages in other countries

Still a lot of room for improvement

Pros

- Excellent offices, benefits & social events - Salaries are above BCN standards, but living-costs raises year over year - There are still fun, outgoing, smart and hyper-talented people in Criteo - I never taught of meeting people at work that would become lifetime friends, at Criteo I can say it happens - Founder rejoined as CEO, which sparked new vision & strategy - Internal mobility, after one year you can apply for jobs worldwide - Some positive changes in the management team, but still work to do!

Cons

- Still a lot of improvement for mid to upper-level management in MM. There are still some ego-trippers with no great ideas/leadership skills - No decent career pathing in MM, being promoted isn't challenging at all - Although Criteos core values always embraced `no fear`. Be scared when you're too vocal. You'll likely end up being labeled as a `bad influence`, although you act in the interest of the company - Tremendous employee turnover; people leave out of frustration/boredom/can't cope with management or get let go for not being a cultural fit/making their target (which mostly is the manager's fault of not knowing how to lead a team) - The product itself might not be future proof; Last year Apple was on our back with ITP, and if you read tech articles the future looks grim...

A mix of Good and Bad

Pros

Amazing team members, at least in Sales, even though we are all individual contributors, we feel very much connected and supportive of each other. Good Covid-19 support in terms of home equipment, mental support. Though it would have been better to just get a stipend to buy the equipment instead of submitting receipts+get compensation for other expenses.

Cons

Disconnected top leadership, many internal blockers for execution, the job involves more moving the needle inside of the company rather than selling the product outside. The leadership likes to have many feedback sessions, where no comments are written by them, no actionable resolution is offered, no accountability or ownership of a problem/solution. The worse part - over-achievement is penalized in the long run, higher targets, and less desire of the management to promote top performers. Instead, mediocre employees that provide bad level of service and underachieve are promoted and/or get lower targets.

Thanks for sharing your perspective. We continue to work to get qualitative and quantitative feedback from our team members through listening sessions and regular engagement and manager surveys to understand how our employees feel. We use this feedback to create tangible action plans to continue to improve the employee experience. Your manager should be including you in discussions about the results of employee surveys - we encourage you to talk to your Manager or your local People Partner if you have further feedback to communicate. We thank you for your hard work over the last 3-4 years and your continued contribution to Criteo's success.
