      Pros

      Strong benefits and a generally positive, supportive culture The company genuinely cares about employee well-being, especially in the earlier years Good entry-level opportunities through internship and junior positions Diverse teams in many regions (outside of leadership)

      Cons

      After several years at the company, it’s evident the culture is shifting toward a more US-centric, corporate mindset Leadership is composed almost entirely of American executives, which is influencing the global culture and diluting the company's original European identity Internal growth is often unclear and heavily influenced by politics and visibility rather than performance or impact Senior employees receive limited investment in their development compared to junior hires The message of “be yourself at work” is slowly being replaced by a push to conform to a more rigid, top-down culture Constant structural and process changes are creating uncertainty and confusion across teams Product offering is complex and difficult to communicate, especially to new customers — language and taxonomy are too technical and unclear Over the past 2–3 years, the company has lost many high-quality employees, which raises concerns about long-term retention and morale The industry challenges ahead will likely make these internal issues more difficult to address

      Thank you for sharing such detailed feedback. Your input on career development is very valuable to us as we are working hard to make career opportunities and development more accessible and meaningful for all. We care to empower all our employees to shape the future they want from day one - whether they're junior or more senior profiles - and that is why getting real feedback from the bottom up is so important. As for instilling more diversity in leadership, genuine inclusion is still a big part of who we are today and who we want to be tomorrow. While representation cannot be forced though, we believe we have a role to play as to building strong allyships among leadership and communities at Criteo to ensure everyone feels welcome, accepted, and proud of who they are. And so, we'll keep advocating for a diverse workforce at all levels of the company, not only because it's the right thing to do, but because we see diversity for what it truly is: A real creator of opportunities!

      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!
