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

Usually nice colleagues Nice perks like snacks, gym memberships, free breakfast Annual trip to France Big company, good image, looks good on resume

Cons

I can only second what a couple of people have already posted before me. 1. Promotions have ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to do with skills or expertise. You can be the best performer in your team, popular among your team members and clients, extremely motivated - all doesn’t matter. If the manager doesn’t want to promote you then it’s not going to happen. If they see you as a threat then you’re out. Rules for promotions formally exist but can be bent according to the manager’s wishes. 2. Nationalism - There is one nationality which is preferred. Period. This is not limited to any specific department but a company-wide phenomenon and is well-known. This leads to extreme frustration and low morals among staff members. 3. Managers are not held responsible for the performance of their team/market. This is probably the worst. I have seen managers repeatedly not hitting their targets. It was perfectly acceptable to having multiple team members being fired in the course of only one quarter instead of asking whether the manager was suitable for the job.

Pros

Huge system / infrastructure, talented coworkers, a better salary and lot more perks than in most French company

Cons

The company just stopped innovating. Job now mainly consists in maintaining and tweaking the system. And having fun. Not really challenging anymore.
