Pros

Overview: People, atmosphere, internationality, chances to learn and develop. Good work-life balance. You'll learn loads and have the time of your life while living in a great climate in a great city. Highly recommended. Development: Lots of training. 2 weeks of training for all new hires with plenty of follow up trainings and quarterly training 'menu'. Very impressed with the training managers. Chance for lots of feedback and improvement in working style. DISC training etc helps you get to know yourself and others much better and adapt your working style to be most effective with different personality types. Eye-opening for many people! Managers: Generally, very good managers who don't micro-manage and care about the individuals in their teams. The sun shines out of my direct managers and I feel trusted, challenged and valued. Many people here who have done Erasmus programs before will tell you it feels the same. Very international, meeting so many people from a wide range of backgrounds and countries. Amazing for getting to know a large network of people who are truly more friends than colleagues.

Cons

As the company is still growing and evolving very fast, sometimes things slip through the cracks. This could be in the form of targets that don't seem to fit the market, wide differences between teams, non-sustainable workloads for some, who have to pick up the slack when people leave, or ambitious growth goals haven't been properly planned for.

Pros

My experience with Criteo Barcelona isn't perfect, but it's by far the best company I've worked for. Yes we can improve things, but seriously for such a recent and fast growing company I'm quite amazed about what we're able to achieve. Criteo cares about people. Reading some comments make me feel uncomfortable, specially people say being French is a requirement to be promoted. The fact is ; your nationality doesn't matter. Yes, you can be French and lead another market, exactly as you can be Dutch and lead UK. Or Italian and lead Spain.... We have so many examples ! Criteo is a French company, so it used to be almost 100% French some years ago. The French employees who started 5 years ago and helped structure the huge growth are naturally in managerial positions now. I don't think there's any French conspiracy here :-) Work on your skills, be patient, be constructive. Criteo rewards hard work and maturity. Sometimes you need to be patient and wait for the opportunity to come. Focus on your skills, focus on what you can improve around you. You'll be rewarded.

Cons

Criteo is a Public company so yes numbers matters a lot and can create some level of pressure, specially on Sales people. Managers are stretched with important teams (a team leader can have 8 persons in his team + many strategic projects, which can make it hard to find the right balance). Some people with unrealistic expectations or lack of maturity not appreciative of all that is done for them (massage, breakfast, social events, coffee, free snacks, amazing office, promotion or lateral moves opportunities...)
