Pros

My experience with Criteo Barcelona isn't perfect, but it's by far the best company I've worked for. Yes we can improve things, but seriously for such a recent and fast growing company I'm quite amazed about what we're able to achieve. Criteo cares about people. Reading some comments make me feel uncomfortable, specially people say being French is a requirement to be promoted. The fact is ; your nationality doesn't matter. Yes, you can be French and lead another market, exactly as you can be Dutch and lead UK. Or Italian and lead Spain.... We have so many examples ! Criteo is a French company, so it used to be almost 100% French some years ago. The French employees who started 5 years ago and helped structure the huge growth are naturally in managerial positions now. I don't think there's any French conspiracy here :-) Work on your skills, be patient, be constructive. Criteo rewards hard work and maturity. Sometimes you need to be patient and wait for the opportunity to come. Focus on your skills, focus on what you can improve around you. You'll be rewarded.

Cons

Criteo is a Public company so yes numbers matters a lot and can create some level of pressure, specially on Sales people. Managers are stretched with important teams (a team leader can have 8 persons in his team + many strategic projects, which can make it hard to find the right balance). Some people with unrealistic expectations or lack of maturity not appreciative of all that is done for them (massage, breakfast, social events, coffee, free snacks, amazing office, promotion or lateral moves opportunities...)

Pros

People I worked with and the culture was great, work life balance was fantastic.

Cons

Every year now it layoffs, makes one want to ask a question. Perhaps Criteo needs a better CFO to manage the companies finances. Being every year Criteo is laying people off, yet CFO still remains. Perhaps Criteo needs to look at those who are staying a bit closer.
