      Pros

      Technology is the real deal - no smoke and mirrors or marketing tricks. The product works very well at a global scale. This makes Criteo a pleasure to work for. For the most part, the employees are excited about working at this company and there is strong loyalty and pride working here. It's possible to feel connected globally and to senior management in spite of our size. The caliber of the employees is very high - we work with smart people and there are strong standards - I'm always impressed by my coworkers and feel like I'm working with some of the best in the industry.

      Cons

      We've had a flux of management turnover, unclear career paths and overall personnel instability. There has also been some difficulty in having grown so fast without the necessary infrastructure in place. Our middle management demographic is too large such that its created a layer of bureaucracy, with too many cooks in the kitchen and everyone fighting for credit and justifying their roles.

      Hi - thanks for your comments and great feedback, appreciate it! Definitely take on board the point of the growing management as we continue to grow our size, and we'll work on a way to ensure that this doesn't create bureaucratic inefficiency in our operational day to day! Appreciate the feedback.

      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.

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.
