Pros

- none worth in case you are a minority

Cons

If you are a minority and are reading this I highly suggest not pursuing any job at Criteo. This is a toxic work environment for diverse people. I am only writing this review to warn fellow minorities. Hope you will find an inclusive company. Good luck!

We're really sorry to hear that you have had a negative experience working with us. Diversity and Inclusion are a high priority on the company's agenda. All recruiters are regularly trained to ensure that the recruitment process is inclusive. Additionally, we have just hired a dedicated, experienced person to head up the D&I program at Criteo and we look forward to this resulting in an even greater breadth of diversity and a stronger sense of inclusion among our employees. We have also launched several diversity-related communities within Criteo, which are led by employees with the support of Criteo. We encourage you to check out our main actions and initiatives on the Criteo Careers Blog as well or on our internal dedicated slack channels (https://careers.criteo.com/blog).

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!
