Pros

- salary (BUT ONLY when you compare it to the average Spanish salary) - people (international environment, ambitious, young nice workers) - location

Cons

- bad management (there is common here that French are being promoted the most. Not because of their skills. I find it very unfair and even racist attitude) - unfair and unrealistic targets - very bad retention rate among workers (HR are hiring new people, because management is firing a lot especially newcomers, who did not hit the target; people often just quit the job after couple of months) - lack of transparency (promotion rules, strategy) - recruitment process (you won't get what you've been promised. HR representatives sell the company simply giving the lies, like for example that no one had been fired because of not meeting the target) - very closed and non elastic culture (people often get frustrated because managers simply do not listen to them and do not respond to the workers' needs and problems)

Good work life balance, all young people.

Cons

Taking away perks that we have had for a long time. Eventually reach your cap as an IC.

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.
