Pros

- salary (BUT ONLY when you compare it to the average Spanish salary) - people (international environment, ambitious, young nice workers) - location

Cons

- bad management (there is common here that French are being promoted the most. Not because of their skills. I find it very unfair and even racist attitude) - unfair and unrealistic targets - very bad retention rate among workers (HR are hiring new people, because management is firing a lot especially newcomers, who did not hit the target; people often just quit the job after couple of months) - lack of transparency (promotion rules, strategy) - recruitment process (you won't get what you've been promised. HR representatives sell the company simply giving the lies, like for example that no one had been fired because of not meeting the target) - very closed and non elastic culture (people often get frustrated because managers simply do not listen to them and do not respond to the workers' needs and problems)

Pros

Nice office with good benefits, higher than Barcelona average. It's the right place if you're very young at your first job experience. They will teach you how to sell and they will give you a general knowledge about the digital environment.

Cons

Management. It's not people oriented. Micro management, high level of stress specially during probation period. No possibilities of growth. There is no space to express your creativity since you always need to follow strict guidelines and justify any little idea you have. It's not the right place if you're more than 30 years old, experienced and with a solid background.

Pros

-great people -free breakfast -amazing health benefits -good product

Cons

Well where do I begin? Two years ago Criteo was a different company. The company truly embraced "go go go" and you felt that you work for a true innovative and strong organized company. Now.... The company has abandoned their "quality over quantity" policy and have changed it to "quantity over quality". Hey, if you can hire people for the half price just because they've barely tasted the corporate world.. why not? Want a promotion? you better be best friends with the manager, oh and make sure you start a bunch of meaningless projects so that upper management sees you. Want a senior position? Got a french passport? Hey, let's just raise everyone's target when over 50% of sales reps can't reach their current target.. makes sense, right? The company begs for feedback from their employees almost on a weekly basis. you'd expect things to change and for the feedback to be taken seriously, right? WRONG.

We also continue to transform the business, and are excited about 2019 as we have a clear vision for the future of Criteo, as well as within Mid-Market. The Leadership team in Barcelona, as well as our People team, continuously work to implement initiatives based on employee feedback through company-wide surveys as well as through local listening sessions. We strive to roll out new programs tailored to improve our team members’ experience based on that feedback. We also work to ensure opportunities for internal roles are fair and open to all, and that we have diverse perspectives at all levels at Criteo. If you’d like to discuss your feedback in more detail, I will absolutely make time to listen. You can send me an email directly to s.chindalur@criteo.com. Thank you.
