Pros

Working for Criteo offers plenty of Pros. I would say the biggest and most important pro would be the Criteo team and Culture. There is a real culture of getting things done. If you have an idea you normally get the freedom to actually try this out, or set this up. The Barcelona office consist of a lot of young, highly motivated people. This brings an incredible energy with it and makes it a lot of fun to go to work every day. The teams are also quite close, so there are yoga sessions in the summer, beach volleyball evenings and amazing Friday afternoon drinks. The other Pros are related to the work itself. It is often quite challenging and I have learned a lot during the 1 ½ years of working here. Even though the work is challenging, we do get the tools to get the best out of it. We have an amazing training team who supply us with work and non-work related skills.

Cons

As you can read in the Pros section, there is a go-get attitude across all levels of the company. So, this has the consequence that Criteo is unstructured in its processes’. Couple this with a fast paced market and quickly adapting company; it results in a lack of structure (and a bit of a start-up vibe). This could be a challenge if you are used to working in a more traditional market or company.

Pros

Benefits, perks, work-life balance, flexi time, culture, individual but part of a team, rewarding, recognition - some of the excellent pros working here. With the right people and attitude, it may not necessarily be how top-down management shapes your passion but rather how it's those you immediately work with that escalates upwards. This review isn't about rating the company - it's just a building - it's about rating the people who becomes the company, and the people here are great!

Cons

Nothing negative I could talk about.

Pros

Probably sounds a bit cheesy to say we are a big happy family... but we are! My colleagues care about me and the Leadership team cares about my well being and work/life balance - or blend as it tends to be for me, a working, solo parent. Every week I am impressed by how our Workplace Experience team go above and beyond to make our days interesting and our lives comfortable. From free food and healthy snacks to events, to Pilates and meditation, to theme days, volunteer opportunities, incredible benefits, perks aplenty and help and support whenever needed, whatever it's needed for. From a work perspective, we are given ample opportunity to get involved in extra curricular opportunities. I recently got to speak at our Global conference, on a subject not related to my day to day work but that I am passionate about and which is relevant, in a broader sense, to everyone, and I've been with the company a mere 7 months. We can also work remotely from any other Criteo office if we want to do a bit of travelling. Which I think is such a simple yet effective perk! Management are very reasonable and recognise that life outside of work is incredibly important and that happy staff = a successful business.

Cons

As with all other jobs I've ever had in the media industry. Definitely not for the fainthearted, its a fast paced environment and the work seemingly never stops. We are rewarded really well from a financial perspective (in my opinion) so it makes it worthwhile. But it can be stressful at times and there are many plates to spin. That said, as described in 'pros', Criteo actually helps us learn and adopt the tools necessary to thrive in such an environment, for example: mindfulness and nutrition talks, meditation classes, massages on Fridays, the option to WFH ad hoc. The structure is quite flat, I don't know where I would go from here in another year or so. Though again, this is not exclusive to Criteo, this has always been the case for the Media roles and companies I've worked in, .
