Pros

6 month in, and I think it's time to make a review of Criteo. Criteo is overall a very good company. I work as a Sales Manager, in our wonderful Barcelona office. Probably the most amazing view from any office I've ever seen (and I've seen a few). What I really enjoy about Criteo is how well the product actually works. As a Sales Manager, this makes my day-to-day life soo much easier and helps me perform. In previous jobs, it was much more about selling the vision, while here with our super transparent setup, you can't really go wrong. In previous jobs, there has always been some distance between senior manage and the people below. This is definitely not the case here. Super friendly people, who have mostly all started their careers in Criteo, which says a bit about the career opportunities in this company. Besides very friendly people, from all over the world, they company really tries to be creative in their social approach. We're not just talking summer and Christmas parties. Almost every week, there is a social event; that being team activities on the beach, cinema evenings or renting a boat and sail on the ocean. As mentioned previous, the Criteo product is really standing out within re-marketing, which makes it a joy to sell. But Criteo is opening up to new trends and products, that will for sure have an impact in the advertising space for the future. They really make sure to hire quality people, which makes the company really stand out, compared to my previous experiences. It's all about the people, and I think they got this right. The company is growing A LOT, which makes sense, as the product work. I had more inbound my first 14 days, that I had for a whole year in my previous role. So top remarks 6 months in. Hopefully this will only get better.

Cons

Obviously no company is picture perfect, but I do think Criteo is doing something right.

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!
