Pros

- salary/bonus plan is good for Barcelona - office location absolutely amazing (Torre Mapfre right at the beach) - nice extra benefits (office massages, insurance, fruits all day, trainings, 27 days paid annual leave ...) - young dynamic and international teams - intelligent and helpful managers (from what I know at least)

Cons

- very sales pushy (no real care for client satisfaction) - no transparency, sometimes even within the company - bad communication between teams - although leader of the retargeting, some products are pretty doubtful - no flexible work time and no work from home - little emphasis on employees' happiness (pressure can be strong, some employees are depressed)

Thank you for taking the time to provide your feedback. We’re happy to hear that you enjoy the investment we make in our offices as well as the benefits package that we offer our team members. We believe that our team members are at the heart of what we are at Criteo, and our international and dynamic team members make us unique. As we move through a transition to a multi-product Company we’re shifting to become more customer centric, and we know we have strides to make here. To retain our position as a leader in technology advertising solutions, we’re a target driven business, but we work to support every team member in achieving or even over-achieving their objectives. We continue to work on improving our working culture, and with regular employee surveys look at where we can invest and evolve employee happiness and our flexibility to employee needs over time. If you’d like to discuss any specific feedback , then feel free to reach out to discuss further as we’re open to ideas and initiatives on how we can improve. Regards, Shruthi

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!
