Pros

Overview: People, atmosphere, internationality, chances to learn and develop. Good work-life balance. You'll learn loads and have the time of your life while living in a great climate in a great city. Highly recommended. Development: Lots of training. 2 weeks of training for all new hires with plenty of follow up trainings and quarterly training 'menu'. Very impressed with the training managers. Chance for lots of feedback and improvement in working style. DISC training etc helps you get to know yourself and others much better and adapt your working style to be most effective with different personality types. Eye-opening for many people! Managers: Generally, very good managers who don't micro-manage and care about the individuals in their teams. The sun shines out of my direct managers and I feel trusted, challenged and valued. Many people here who have done Erasmus programs before will tell you it feels the same. Very international, meeting so many people from a wide range of backgrounds and countries. Amazing for getting to know a large network of people who are truly more friends than colleagues.

Cons

As the company is still growing and evolving very fast, sometimes things slip through the cracks. This could be in the form of targets that don't seem to fit the market, wide differences between teams, non-sustainable workloads for some, who have to pick up the slack when people leave, or ambitious growth goals haven't been properly planned for.

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!
