Pros

Fun environment and free breakfast.

Cons

As a sales manager you might be fired at any minute. You need to work very hard to pass probation but even then the company might not keep you if they don't like you.

Thank you for sharing your feedback about your time at Criteo. Our Sales Manager roles are challenging and require commitment to be successful, but they’re also exciting and rewarding with learning opportunities. We have a strong ramp-up approach in place to support each individual as they progress through their probation. We are also candid in the conversations we have with team members around their performance throughout this period. We always work to hire Criteos with the skill set to be part of our journey, although there are times when there may be misalignment on performance in role. When this happens we have a dedicated People Experience team that continuously works to ensure we have an objective approach on all people matters, and we always try to do this in the right way. I’d like to hear about your experience in more detail at s.chindalur@criteo.com, so please do reach out. Shruthi Chindalur Regional Managing Director Mid-Market EMEA

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.
