Good integration especially when you come from outside Spain Friendly people aged 25 - 35 yo Cultural diversity Lot of personal-time (everyone is gone from the office at 6pm)

Cons

- Unexperienced management: lack of transparancy and rationality when taking organisational decisions , do not receive and apply feedbacks, low level of knowledge regarding their markets and sales methodology - No career path - Low internal promotions - No inspirational leadership - Lack of employees protection: people dismissed within 2 hours notice, psychological strains (HR convocations without subject notice), temporal dissmissal for invalid reason regarding law (example: you broke the elevator screen and we've seen that in camera)

Thank you for taking the time to give us feedback. We believe that our team members are at the heart of what we are at Criteo, and our international and dynamic team members make us unique. We focus on bringing in both external hires who bring outside expertise, skills, and experience, as well as creating internal opportunities for appointment to roles in management. We work hard to ensure those who are in our manager roles have the right training and development to be effective leaders. This includes a focus on creation of a coaching and development culture. In our New Business organization we’ve been working to create a clearer career path for our team members to build and grow their career at Criteo, and we know we can always do better. We aim to take fair people decisions, and have open feedback conversations as well as manage the performance of our team members in a consistent way, and where transitions occur, we aim to do so with fairness and integrity.

Pros

- Good perks: salary, lunch card, massage, holidays, the view... - Great team mates to work with; good talents (even if less and less over the years) It's easy to have fun every day thanks to your colleagues! - No micro-management - if you are senior enough - Trainings and personal development - Good chances to develop your knowledge in the Adtech industry - International environment - The right place to develop yourself if you have good energy - Healthy work-life balance - Gender equality (yes, that is something Criteo is really good at!)

Cons

- Middle Management can vary from one team to another. Some are very nice to work with, others make employees leave the company. They are the major part. People Experience are aware of it, through the Managers survey etc. nevertheless no concrete action taken, neither notes taken during the final interview. It makes me wonder if this is something taken seriously... - They expect you to overachieve with less capacity over the years. The new motto seems to be: do more with less. When you have a large client portfolio, and one thing goes wrong, Team Leads don't understand you don't deliver the same Top Service they deliver in Large Customers when having 10x more clients. Unless you work 10x times more, it's technically impossible. Expectations from Account Strategists should be clearer and risks should be evaluated by managers before reducing resources, thus before blaiming commercial teams. - Politics are high, I guess that's what you should expect when joining a big company. Something you need to consider before signing.

You've really taken the time to give a detailed review and we want to thank you for that and your contribution during your tenure at Criteo. We assure you that the feedback in surveys and exit interviews is taken seriously and we work hard to find a balance between creating opportunities for advancement and ensuring that individuals promoted into manager roles have the right training and development to be effective leaders. We pride ourselves on having a strong feedback culture so we encourage all of our employees to give feedback to their manager, their people partner or even the business function leader. We're rolling out a new performance management and development plan in 2020 which will make it easier for people to get the right feedback and support at the right time. There's always things to improve but we're also proud of many of the pros that you outline here. We wish you all the best of luck with your new path.

Pros

Good working conditions and the hackathon annual initiative

Cons

The politics is taking a prominent place in order to reinforce conservatism, without opening up to the acquisition of new ideas coming from new hires. People seem too focused on writing documentation instead of talking to each other. Hackathons, which are supposed to open the mindset, at the end dont really bring innovation in processes, which seems still too waterfall in the daily life. The mastery of standards is very low, and being based on the status quo (technology and reputation) is limiting the creativity. The lack of Agility prevents the healthy evolution of the product development. The products are late, face to competitors evolutions.
