Pros

-Opportunity to learn a lot through paid trainings and clever colleagues -Intelligent and like minded colleagues (strong hiring process at junior to lower management level) -WFH flexibility -Good benefits (Ticket restaurant, CIGNA healthcare) -Some good and trustworthy people in the management structure -Company is generally respectful of personal time and doesn´t demand late working etc

Cons

Infuriatingly inflexible processes for everything from product management, promotion and hiring and execution processes that are more restrictive than many of those in companies 10x the size. The close knit nature of some of the employees and crazy long processes mean the communication is a mess, you hear most important decisions "on the grapevine" weeks before they are ánnounced A small handfull of upper management are unbelievably distrustworthy. Politics is everything here, unfortunately it´s led to an extremely toxic culture of empty words, broken promises and needlessly cold hearted decisions. Company has tried to pivot away from relying on cookies by building a succession of products that don´t really meet market need over the last 3-4 years whilst the browser and app privacy changes mean the core product delivers less performance than in the past. Whilst some of these changes are outside the company´s control it means clients are rarely happy. The amount of people going on leave for burnout in this environment is quite staggering- (on a positive note the company is generally supportive of people taking leave for mental health).

Thanks for taking the time to submit your review. We're sincerely sorry to hear that you had a negative experience and that you didn't felt cared for as an employee. The experience you describe is far from what we want to offer. We are strongly convinced that employees wellbeing is a key element of success. We have kept investing in various wellbeing initiatives, from having the Workplace team running weekly Feelgood initiatives in all regions, to having an internal campaign on the importance of taking breaks or even offering mental health support through an external provider with up to 5 appointments with a Mental Heath professional. We wish you the best in your future endeavors, and to find the environment that will support your personal and professional growth. Thanks for the time spent together.

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.
