Pros

You get good connections from all over the place as Barcelona office is a hub for several european countries. And the city is nice. Salary was OK but comission model too complicted

Cons

They lead with fear and people were fired on the spot after QBR. I believe it's because managers were young too and had no training. So a lot of micromanagement. The company either greatly exaggerated or lied about the product making it hard to sell.

Pros

Great employees (excluding management) you can learn from. Dynamic and independent way of working. Salary is OK compared to other companies in Barcelona.

Cons

Most of the management have grown internally very fast and you can feel the lack of knowledge on the industry and also of experiences in other cultures and ways of working. You also achieve more recognitions when you can write down your name in projects. It doesn't really matter the impact of these but you must have your name there to grow. Overachieving targets weights much less compared to internal "visibility"...

We recently won a Brandon Hall Group award for Excellence in Leadership Development for our in-house manager training programs. Employees are given the opportunity to provide feedback on their manager in the annual manager performance survey and you can always speak to your local People Partner to discuss any specific concerns.

Pros

Best office space in Barcelona Fun social life

Cons

- Terrible mid to upper management. - Employees are evaluated on their networking merits, a large portion of the management is utterly incompetent. - There is an obvious divide between the motto of Criteo "go Go GO"and the reality of the Company: any change, project or idea needs the full approval of management which can literally take years. Any project is wrestled by hangers on. - Product development happens in complete isolation from commercial reality. As a result it is poor.
