Pros

Great employees (excluding management) you can learn from. Dynamic and independent way of working. Salary is OK compared to other companies in Barcelona.

Cons

Most of the management have grown internally very fast and you can feel the lack of knowledge on the industry and also of experiences in other cultures and ways of working. You also achieve more recognitions when you can write down your name in projects. It doesn't really matter the impact of these but you must have your name there to grow. Overachieving targets weights much less compared to internal "visibility"...

Pros

Best office space in Barcelona Fun social life

Cons

- Terrible mid to upper management. - Employees are evaluated on their networking merits, a large portion of the management is utterly incompetent. - There is an obvious divide between the motto of Criteo "go Go GO"and the reality of the Company: any change, project or idea needs the full approval of management which can literally take years. Any project is wrestled by hangers on. - Product development happens in complete isolation from commercial reality. As a result it is poor.

Pros

-Recruitment Process is professional -International environment -Salary is OK for Barcelona

Cons

-Everything is only number-oriented... You are your target, only. You are not treated more than it. -Overachievers are punished. How? capping, changing compensation plan within the quarter. -Management level is not human-centric at all... Focusing only on cost-saving, no promotion cycles anymore, offices are still closed for more than a year, etc... -No coaching & career development patch & customized training for employees -Leaders are not visionary. There is miscommunication in so many parts of the company. You can't learn anything from your leader for your personal growth. -Listening sessions are useless. Your voice is not heard within the company if you are not at the mid-level. -I won't talk about the Criteo products deeply, but the all industry in danger right now. -Everything is going worse day by day...

Thanks for taking the time to leave your review. We believe that everyone at Criteo bring their unique talent and experience into work, encouraging Criteos to share their stories, whereas on the Criteo Blog or during specific internal events. Offices have stayed closed as long as we weren't sure this was 100% safe for our employees to return: right from the beginning of COVID we implemented a partnership with external mental health professionals, including 5 sponsored psychological sessions, to support Criteos for who the remote situation was particularly hard to deal with. We are sorry to hear that you felt treated like a number. It's really far from the experience we want to provide to our employees. We hope you are well and that you found the right place for you now.
