Pros

* Golden cage - high benefits and salaries. * Nice offices and facilities. * Nice company events.

Cons

*It's all about people - that's how they sell it, but it's ALL ABOUT NUMBERS. You count to generate revenue, otherwise you're not valuable and you're out. *FRENCH OVER ALL! - they promote even French people to Lead UK Market. All Leadership team is French....how strange taking into account that we're talking about an European Hub with many nationalities based in Barcelona, but on the Top, only French people. They speak french in meetings, even if there are people in the room who won't understand the language. Very rude environment. *POLITICS vs. CAPABILITIES - the better you're at politics, the higher you will get. Do not challenge the wrong person, or you will be left out. *RECRUITMENT is a SALES DEPARTMENT - 100000 of promises to attract people from many countries, cash in hand to make it more attractive to end up getting dismissed most of them for not selling. They don't care if you've just relocated from another country, or you're sick, they care if you sell, and this is why the recruitment team doesn't evaluate if you're suitable for the role, they sell you the role so that you can come and make sure they get their bonus. *PEOPLE MANAGEMENT? - WHATS IS THAT? - Top Management Team build all by promotions of (again) french nationalities, with very poor skills. They want to become Managers so that they stop having targets that put you on an Improvement Plan almost every 2 Quarters. The Middle Management Team is more human, but unfortunately, the culture and the Top Management won't support them. *DISMISSALS EVERY DAY - I've seen more dismissals in 1 year than anywhere else in my whole working experience (more than 10 years on the same sector). Specially if you join as Sales Manager, other positions are more lucky on that. Very high attrition. *CRITEO is FOR YOU IF: you LOVE POLITICS, are FRENCH or SPEAK FRENCH, DON'T CARE about TEAM WORK but only about INDIVIDUAL OBJECTIVES, your PRIORITY is MONEY and NOT PEOPLE.

Pros

I found no pros in working for this company.

Cons

Company culture is toxic, aggressive and recognition to individual contributors is more important than team effort. The leadership does not hire on cultural fit, so you have a bunch of people that share nothing in common. My worst experience in the corporate world in a 15 year career.
