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

Smart, hardworking people at the individual contributor level (many of whom are now gone). Little micro-managing, but that’s because everyone’s bandwidth is near 0

Cons

Post–new CEO, the company has descended into complete chaos. There is no transparency around decisions that impact teams and roles. There have been consistent strategy, personnel, and supplier changes with no explanation, accountability, or follow-through. Cons, continued: Employee input and performance do not matter. Decisions feel driven by appeasing BoD and optics rather than results, input and reality. The culture has become a corporate hellscape of: Endless reorganizations with no clear rationale, including layoffs with no reasoning Vague all-hands meetings that avoid real issues, even when directly asked A massive disconnect between the C-suite and day-to-day reality Eroded trust and growing position insecurity Middle managers incentivized to prioritize managing up & executive optics over team advocacy “Return to Office” policy put in place when promised a “Work from Anywhere” position, where the RTO policy differs across employees’ location Little to no growth opportunities despite high performance Under-market average compensation that was justified by locale, “Work from Anywhere”, and flexibility — which was recently rolled back A clear favoritism to those that “talk the talk” vs “performance with numbers”
