A Decline in Strategy, Stability, and Morale

Pros

In the past, the company demonstrated consistent double-digit revenue growth, which positively impacted motivation and confidence in the company’s future.

Cons

Since the arrival of the new CEO, employee morale has significantly declined, and there have been no visible positive changes. The company previously demonstrated consistent double-digit revenue growth year over year; currently, performance is at best flat. The original “full remote” contractual agreement is now being reversed through a forced return-to-office policy. Frequent organizational restructurings create instability and uncertainty. Significant annual layoffs followed by external hiring, instead of investing in the development and upskilling of existing employees. Previously loyal and engaged employees are losing motivation due to a lack of long-term vision and growth prospects. No merit increases, while at the same time investing in expanding office spaces that would not be necessary without the return-to-office policy. Limited internal career growth opportunities, with a preference for hiring externally rather than promoting from within.

From top leadership to individual contributors, we all have our organizational health at heart. So, every strategic decision we make is driven by the will to strengthen our position as a key industry player and build long-term success for our company and everyone in it. We strive to set clear goals and communicate them with maximum transparency to ensure we’re all looking in the same direction. Redefining our work approach also falls under that description. By blending office presence with home office, we keep trusting our employees to choose how they manage their time, energy, and schedule, while encouraging what makes us perform best: in-person connections. We value both vertical and horizontal career growth, and that’s why there is always room at Criteo for people ready to explore alternative pathways to propel their career to the next level. Receiving open feedback helps us identify potential pain points and improve our way of doing things, so thank you for sharing.

Pros

The company used to be an incredible place to work with strong culture and values.

Cons

Impersonal CEO RTO policy, which has been viewed as unnecessary and used to tighten control over employees It used to be about employees first, but with current business headwinds (mostly created by poor decision making and lack of forward thinking initiative by senior leadership), Criteo has undergone massive layoffs on the Retail Media side of the business and the employees who've been with the company for a long time are affected.

Thank you for sharing your experience openly. From top leadership to individual contributors, we all share the same responsibility to build long-term success for our company and everyone in it. Every decision we make is taken with our future and organizational health in mind. The decision to redefine our approach to work and business follows those same steps. At Criteo, performance comes from trust and that's why, while encouraging in-person connections, we trust all employees to manage their time, energy, and schedule how they see fit. By blending flexible options with office presence, we don't intend to step back but rather to foster a work culture that takes the best out of both approaches. We are grateful for your contribution and wish you the best of luck in your future endeavors!
