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

Smart, hardworking people at the individual contributor level (many of whom are now gone). Little micro-managing, but that’s because everyone’s bandwidth is near 0

Cons

Post–new CEO, the company has descended into complete chaos. There is no transparency around decisions that impact teams and roles. There have been consistent strategy, personnel, and supplier changes with no explanation, accountability, or follow-through. Cons, continued: Employee input and performance do not matter. Decisions feel driven by appeasing BoD and optics rather than results, input and reality. The culture has become a corporate hellscape of: Endless reorganizations with no clear rationale, including layoffs with no reasoning Vague all-hands meetings that avoid real issues, even when directly asked A massive disconnect between the C-suite and day-to-day reality Eroded trust and growing position insecurity Middle managers incentivized to prioritize managing up & executive optics over team advocacy “Return to Office” policy put in place when promised a “Work from Anywhere” position, where the RTO policy differs across employees’ location Little to no growth opportunities despite high performance Under-market average compensation that was justified by locale, “Work from Anywhere”, and flexibility — which was recently rolled back A clear favoritism to those that “talk the talk” vs “performance with numbers”
