Pros

Criteo has very good benefits; higher then other companies. They have a good marketing department supporting everything in a professional way; they will teach you a lot about the digital landscape; great employer to start your career. Everything is well organized.

Cons

Working for Criteo is like working Kim Jung Ung; they have regulations for everything you do. They have a trainings where you're told to rat on colleges when you see something that's not in line with their policy. Theres no room for creativity at all - none. No room for growth either. Very high stress levels.

Pros

Nice office with good benefits, higher than Barcelona average. It's the right place if you're very young at your first job experience. They will teach you how to sell and they will give you a general knowledge about the digital environment.

Cons

Management. It's not people oriented. Micro management, high level of stress specially during probation period. No possibilities of growth. There is no space to express your creativity since you always need to follow strict guidelines and justify any little idea you have. It's not the right place if you're more than 30 years old, experienced and with a solid background.

Pros

-great people -free breakfast -amazing health benefits -good product

Cons

Well where do I begin? Two years ago Criteo was a different company. The company truly embraced "go go go" and you felt that you work for a true innovative and strong organized company. Now.... The company has abandoned their "quality over quantity" policy and have changed it to "quantity over quality". Hey, if you can hire people for the half price just because they've barely tasted the corporate world.. why not? Want a promotion? you better be best friends with the manager, oh and make sure you start a bunch of meaningless projects so that upper management sees you. Want a senior position? Got a french passport? Hey, let's just raise everyone's target when over 50% of sales reps can't reach their current target.. makes sense, right? The company begs for feedback from their employees almost on a weekly basis. you'd expect things to change and for the feedback to be taken seriously, right? WRONG.

Thanks for taking the time to give us your feedback. Criteo recognises that we have amazing talent who have helped to drive us to where we are today. We also continue to transform the business, and are excited about 2019 as we have a clear vision for the future of Criteo, as well as within Mid-Market. The Leadership team in Barcelona, as well as our People team, continuously work to implement initiatives based on employee feedback through company-wide surveys as well as through local listening sessions. We strive to roll out new programs tailored to improve our team members’ experience based on that feedback. We also work to ensure opportunities for internal roles are fair and open to all, and that we have diverse perspectives at all levels at Criteo. If you’d like to discuss your feedback in more detail, I will absolutely make time to listen. You can send me an email directly to s.chindalur@criteo.com. Thank you.
