      Pros

      My experience with Criteo Barcelona isn't perfect, but it's by far the best company I've worked for. Yes we can improve things, but seriously for such a recent and fast growing company I'm quite amazed about what we're able to achieve. Criteo cares about people. Reading some comments make me feel uncomfortable, specially people say being French is a requirement to be promoted. The fact is ; your nationality doesn't matter. Yes, you can be French and lead another market, exactly as you can be Dutch and lead UK. Or Italian and lead Spain.... We have so many examples ! Criteo is a French company, so it used to be almost 100% French some years ago. The French employees who started 5 years ago and helped structure the huge growth are naturally in managerial positions now. I don't think there's any French conspiracy here :-) Work on your skills, be patient, be constructive. Criteo rewards hard work and maturity. Sometimes you need to be patient and wait for the opportunity to come. Focus on your skills, focus on what you can improve around you. You'll be rewarded.

      Cons

      Criteo is a Public company so yes numbers matters a lot and can create some level of pressure, specially on Sales people. Managers are stretched with important teams (a team leader can have 8 persons in his team + many strategic projects, which can make it hard to find the right balance). Some people with unrealistic expectations or lack of maturity not appreciative of all that is done for them (massage, breakfast, social events, coffee, free snacks, amazing office, promotion or lateral moves opportunities...)

      Good work life balance, all young people.

      Cons

      Taking away perks that we have had for a long time. Eventually reach your cap as an IC.

      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!
