Pros

Good benefits Salary ok (but decreasing with higher job opportunities in Barcelona) Leader company in its market Possibility to create side projects and make them grow.

Cons

A LOT of nepotism Pretends to trust its employees but high micro managing at the end. Pretends numbers are not important (high hypocrisy) Blackbox even with its employees. The market itself is fishy (online ads in mass). When you think about it, Criteo is this annoying entity pushing you thousands of ads per day and enabling for mass consumption. Although it's all legal (completely), the methods are not great. In depth, Criteo's services just don't serve anyone any good. But, it does work. They make money and you will earn money working there. Just know you will contribute to one of the most indecent internet practice of nowadays. They hire new employees with a higher salary than for the existing ones and they ask those new employees not to divulgate, even lying to them saying it's forbidden to talk about salaries.

We announced earlier this year that we were in a transformation phase, we are absolutely convinced that in the longer term, us pivoting to a Commerce Media Platform, will expand our addressable market and create new business opportunities as well as internal ones. Concerning the stress that you felt in your management, in all regions, we have put a strong focus on employee wellness with a large offer of Feelgood Initiatives by local Workplace teams, coupled with an offer of mental health support with professionals by an external service provider, we also have reinforced the communication about the importance of taking breaks. We strongly encourage you to reach out to your manager or local PE advisor to get an extended support.
