Pros

- salary (BUT ONLY when you compare it to the average Spanish salary) - people (international environment, ambitious, young nice workers) - location

Cons

- bad management (there is common here that French are being promoted the most. Not because of their skills. I find it very unfair and even racist attitude) - unfair and unrealistic targets - very bad retention rate among workers (HR are hiring new people, because management is firing a lot especially newcomers, who did not hit the target; people often just quit the job after couple of months) - lack of transparency (promotion rules, strategy) - recruitment process (you won't get what you've been promised. HR representatives sell the company simply giving the lies, like for example that no one had been fired because of not meeting the target) - very closed and non elastic culture (people often get frustrated because managers simply do not listen to them and do not respond to the workers' needs and problems)

Pros

Solid, well-engineered advertising product that performs well in the market and should lead to a happy healthy business outlook.

Cons

While French management team is strong with vision and execution, business leads in London are uneven and US management was the worst. Workplace was paranoid and depressing even as the company marched towards its IPO, and degenerated after that. Not a happy place. Most US leadership has been blown out since then but the negative afterglow is a lot to overcome.

Hello - thank you for your feedback. It saddens us to see a review like this. With the rapid growth that we are seeing, there is a lot of new leadership in place, and a LOT of first time managers who are learning themselves, of course this comes with challenges for our employees. For you. We are keen to fix this, and your feedback here goes to the heard of the Power Up empowerment project we've launched. In 2016, we're also focusing more on training our managers to be better managers, exactly because of the feedback you've mentioned here. If you have other suggestions, please do reach out to local HR. Your feedback is critical to us.

Fantastic Company to Work For

Pros

There's so many positive things to say but I'll try to narrow it down: - Culture: I've encountered very few people that aren't good natured, always happy to help, have a team-work and can-do attitude, and always wanting to praise one another - Perks: They ain't cheap! - a plethora of free snacks stocked weekly, monthly lunch and happy hour (+more depending on your team), volunteer activities that always in happy hour, arcade room, etc. Oh, and you get to visit Paris to meet the global team once a year - Benefits: Great benefits, health care, match 401k, and reimbursement for your cell phone and commute - Office: Getting very cramped but we are moving to a bigger place soon - and that was after extensive input from all employees, they truly value your opinion - Other: Very little negativity all around, very transparent about the business in every way including earnings

Cons

- Depending on your team, you may not get the cushier perks that other teams do, but again dependent on your manager - Some red tape to deal with here and there, especially when it comes to promotions because of "global policies" - Minor communication growing pains between the US market and Paris sometimes

Hi, thank you so much for your feedback! We put a lot of effort into trying to make this a fun place that our employees enjoy being a part of. And the new office coming later this year will DEFINITELY address our current crampedness - this is just temporary growing pains! We can't wait for the new office either :) And if your team doesn't participate in the same perks as others, let us know! Criteo's got a fabulous environment, and we want to make sure everyone has the opportunity to be a part of it equally!
