      Pros

      - Easy to commute - Medical Insurance - Lunch Card - Decent salary

      Cons

      Criteo has been going from bad to worse from early this year. Whoever is practising compassionate leadership has hired people in the top leadership roles in the name of restructuring and disruption which are far away from knowing what compassion is, which makes one wonder if the compassionate leadership that is being harped is a facade? 1-2-1 meetings with so called top leaders are a torture chamber experience where the real colour of the leader comes out. There is emotional abuse, intimidation, threatening, and ultimatums about your ability to contribute to their bonus. It is hard to see these so called leaders care about people than their own pockets. Many people who have been at Criteo for many years have been pushed out in less than compassionate ways. People are being fired without ethics. People experience (Human Resource) is a joke. In the markets where economic crisis is looming, customers are pausing campaigns after three months as Criteo is not able to deliver promised results.

      Thank you for taking the time to give your open feedback. We are moving through a transition as a Company and during this time, we continue to assess and invest to ensure we have the right leaders for the future. Our people are the core of the business, and we work to provide a positive working culture for all, evolving this continually over time. We conduct regular employee surveys to assess manager performance and identify where we need to invest so that our managers provide a leadership experience for employees which is in line with our Company values. We work to assess performance of our employees in a fair and consistent way and where transitions occur, we aim to do so with fairness and integrity. If you’d like to discuss any specific feedback in a confidential way, please feel free to reach out to me directly. Regards, Shruthi Chindalur, Executive Managing Director EMEA

      Pros

      Earlier in my time at Criteo, the culture was a true strength. Teams were collaborative, capable, and invested in delivering value to clients. There are still incredibly smart, hardworking people across the organization when they are given the resources needed to deliver strong work.

      Cons

      Morale has declined significantly due to direction from upper leadership. Executive communications often feel scripted and disconnected from the realities teams are navigating. Employees are facing burnout, layoffs, no merit compensation growth, and increasing workloads without clear strategic guidance. Leadership layers have expanded in ways that create bottlenecks and slow decision making, while individual contributors lack clarity on priorities and long term direction. Internal mobility has been restricted, limiting opportunities for promotion or role movement at the same time compensation progression has been removed. Salary transparency was removed from internal and external role descriptions, which has impacted trust. Despite positive performance, cost discipline appears to disproportionately affect employees rather than being shared equitably across leadership levels. Additionally, a return to office policy has been implemented, including for employees originally hired as remote. This has added strain and uncertainty for teams.

      Thank you for sharing such detailed feedback. Every decision we make is taken with our long-term organizational health in mind. From top leadership to individual contributors, we are all committed to building sustainable success for our company and the people in it. Making Criteo a place where everyone can grow is a shared priority, and that’s why we equally value vertical and horizontal career pathways. When it comes to individual recognition, our merit compensation processes are structured and similar across our entire organization to ensure maximum fairness and equity. Since Criteo's success is built on connections, we strongly encourage our teams to come together to boost innovation and collaboration at once. By blending office presence with flexible options, we keep trust at the core of our work approach since everyone remain empowered to manage their time, energy, and schedule the way they see fit. Open feedback helps us improve and move forward, so thank you for sharing yours!
