Nice people, on a sinking ship!

Pros

- Nice people, some good events

Cons

- insanely pushy management - sometimes pushing solutions that are not for client-benefit, rather only benefitial for the teamlead's or manager's benefit - micro-management at its best - heavy workload (very large portfolios) - bad administration - career opportunities: yes, if your French! - dying business (model) Honestly, it's a sign if young talent keeps leaving the company and wanting out asap.

Thank you for taking the time to give your feedback on your experience. We work to assess performance of our employees in a fair and consistent way through our evolving Perform & Develop approach, and as we assess internal promotions, as well as appointments to new roles – we work to appoint the right candidate for any given role, taking into account all strands of diversity. To retain our position as a leader in technology advertising solutions, we’re a target driven business, but we work to support every team member in achieving or even over-achieving their objectives. As we move through a transition to a multi-product Company we’re shifting to become more customer centric, and we know we have strides to make here, and our new strategy puts the Customer at the centre of that.

Pros

potential (!) to earn some good money, if you over-perform

Cons

literally everything else. The daily pressure is incredibly high, they are kicking people out from one second to the next every single week. Managers do not care about anything else but their own bonus. Complaints are not being taken serious. Chaotic and competitive.

Pros

Great work/life balance. You can really see that the company cares about its employees and you feel like you’re part of a big family. The salary and benefits are quite good for Barcelona and HR does an amazing job making sure everyone is comfortable and taken care of.

Cons

As Criteo is still establishing itself in the marketplace, there is some uncertainty. There’s a definite pressure for constant growth, but it’s nice to feel personally invested in the company.
