      Diversity issues and lack of career opportunities

      Pros

      The biggest advantages are the Salary, compensations and Benefits. So negotiate well your salary because the career opportunities are limited.

      Cons

      It wouldn't be fair no to mention this, but there is some serious diversity issues about the company. With the death of cookies marketing and the big turnover last year, the company is struggling to hire new software engineers.

      Thanks for taking the time to submit your review. We're sorry to read that you have had a negative experience. Regarding your highlight on diversity, we agree that it's a top priority. We have just hired a dedicated, experienced person to head up the D&I program at Criteo and we look forward to this resulting in an even greater breadth of diversity and a stronger sense of inclusion among our employees!

      Pros

      -Recruitment Process is professional -International environment -Salary is OK for Barcelona

      Cons

      -Everything is only number-oriented... You are your target, only. You are not treated more than it. -Overachievers are punished. How? capping, changing compensation plan within the quarter. -Management level is not human-centric at all... Focusing only on cost-saving, no promotion cycles anymore, offices are still closed for more than a year, etc... -No coaching & career development patch & customized training for employees -Leaders are not visionary. There is miscommunication in so many parts of the company. You can't learn anything from your leader for your personal growth. -Listening sessions are useless. Your voice is not heard within the company if you are not at the mid-level. -I won't talk about the Criteo products deeply, but the all industry in danger right now. -Everything is going worse day by day...

      Thanks for taking the time to leave your review. ​ We believe that everyone at Criteo bring their unique talent and experience into work, encouraging Criteos to share their stories, whereas on the Criteo Blog or during specific internal events.​ Offices have stayed closed as long as we weren't sure this was 100% safe for our employees to return: right from the beginning of COVID we implemented a partnership with external mental health professionals, including 5 sponsored psychological sessions, to support Criteos for who the remote situation was particularly hard to deal with. ​ We are sorry to hear that you felt treated like a number. It's really far from the experience we want to provide to our employees. We hope you are well and that you found the right place for you now. ​

      Pros

      Good benefits Salary ok (but decreasing with higher job opportunities in Barcelona) Leader company in its market Possibility to create side projects and make them grow.

      Cons

      A LOT of nepotism Pretends to trust its employees but high micro managing at the end. Pretends numbers are not important (high hypocrisy) Blackbox even with its employees. The market itself is fishy (online ads in mass). When you think about it, Criteo is this annoying entity pushing you thousands of ads per day and enabling for mass consumption. Although it's all legal (completely), the methods are not great. In depth, Criteo's services just don't serve anyone any good. But, it does work. They make money and you will earn money working there. Just know you will contribute to one of the most indecent internet practice of nowadays. They hire new employees with a higher salary than for the existing ones and they ask those new employees not to divulgate, even lying to them saying it's forbidden to talk about salaries.

      We'd like to thank you for taking the time to share your experience, although we are very sorry to hear that you feel that you had an overall negative experience. We announced earlier this year that we were in a transformation phase, we are absolutely convinced that in the longer term, us pivoting to a Commerce Media Platform, will expand our addressable market and create new business opportunities as well as internal ones. Concerning the stress that you felt in your management, in all regions, we have put a strong focus on employee wellness with a large offer of Feelgood Initiatives by local Workplace teams, coupled with an offer of mental health support with professionals by an external service provider, we also have reinforced the communication about the importance of taking breaks. We strongly encourage you to reach out to your manager or local PE advisor to get an extended support.
