Pros

- salary/bonus plan is good for Barcelona - office location absolutely amazing (Torre Mapfre right at the beach) - nice extra benefits (office massages, insurance, fruits all day, trainings, 27 days paid annual leave ...) - young dynamic and international teams - intelligent and helpful managers (from what I know at least)

Cons

- very sales pushy (no real care for client satisfaction) - no transparency, sometimes even within the company - bad communication between teams - although leader of the retargeting, some products are pretty doubtful - no flexible work time and no work from home - little emphasis on employees' happiness (pressure can be strong, some employees are depressed)

Thank you for taking the time to provide your feedback. We’re happy to hear that you enjoy the investment we make in our offices as well as the benefits package that we offer our team members. 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. 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. 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. We continue to work on improving our working culture, and with regular employee surveys look at where we can invest and evolve employee happiness and our flexibility to employee needs over time. If you’d like to discuss any specific feedback , then feel free to reach out to discuss further as we’re open to ideas and initiatives on how we can improve. Regards, Shruthi

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”
