Thank you for your review about your time at Criteo. At the start of 2020, following a considerable period of transformation that culminated in the appointment of our new CEO, Criteo announced our new strategy to employees. This included a clear product roadmap that once again positions Criteo as an innovative leader in an industry facing exciting challenges. To retain our position as a leader in technology advertising solutions, we continue to invest in the future of the company.

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.

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.
