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

People I worked with and the culture was great, work life balance was fantastic.

Cons

Every year now it layoffs, makes one want to ask a question. Perhaps Criteo needs a better CFO to manage the companies finances. Being every year Criteo is laying people off, yet CFO still remains. Perhaps Criteo needs to look at those who are staying a bit closer.

Through the way they connect, build each other up, and impact one another, people make Criteo into a unique workplace every day, and we’re glad it's something you appreciated during your time with us. When it comes to our company’s future, decisions are never arbitrary but made with shared responsibility, maximum transparency, and bearing our long-term organizational health in mind. Yet, receiving open feedback, whether positive or not, is always valuable to us, so thank you for sharing yours. We wish you the best for what comes next.
