Pros

You get good connections from all over the place as Barcelona office is a hub for several european countries. And the city is nice. Salary was OK but comission model too complicted

Cons

They lead with fear and people were fired on the spot after QBR. I believe it's because managers were young too and had no training. So a lot of micromanagement. The company either greatly exaggerated or lied about the product making it hard to sell.

Pros

People I worked with and the culture was great, work life balance was fantastic.

Cons

Every year now it layoffs, makes one want to ask a question. Perhaps Criteo needs a better CFO to manage the companies finances. Being every year Criteo is laying people off, yet CFO still remains. Perhaps Criteo needs to look at those who are staying a bit closer.
