Pros

Great technology which performs very well for advertisers & publishers alike. Benefits within the US have become much better within the past few months. Very competitive with other ad-technology firms. Good potential.

Cons

Corporate politics play such a huge role within Criteo that it is suffocating at times. If you've heard the old adage of perception is reality and you like that time of environment then Criteo is for you. Many people here spend their entire day looking for ways to pander to senior management, both in the US and abroad. Europeans are brought over to the US market without knowledge of this very complex environment. Criteo has become a revolving door where employees are either fired or they leave as they were brought here under false pretenses. The Europeans do not value the role or knowledge that Americans can bring to the table. Very dissapointing in a growing & profitable international company. There is no culture here. Culture is something that should be bread from the highest executives down to the rank & file. This is not the case at Criteo. Top executives hope that culture will just organically crop up, which is never the case. Take a look at some of the best companies to work for (Zappos, Google, Salesforce, Yahoo!). Their CEO's take pride in infusing corporate pride, fun & hard work. Also, terrible commission structure for Business Development, Sales, & Account Management.

Pros

Passionate mid-management Ability to express oneself and be independent Decent work/ life balance

Cons

Leaned too far into the stereotypical corporate atmosphere. New CEO's policies and mindset has tarnished what made Criteo the highly recommended place to work previously. Limited growth opportunities. Inconsistent target/ goal setting.

A Decline in Strategy, Stability, and Morale

Pros

In the past, the company demonstrated consistent double-digit revenue growth, which positively impacted motivation and confidence in the company’s future.

Cons

Since the arrival of the new CEO, employee morale has significantly declined, and there have been no visible positive changes. The company previously demonstrated consistent double-digit revenue growth year over year; currently, performance is at best flat. The original “full remote” contractual agreement is now being reversed through a forced return-to-office policy. Frequent organizational restructurings create instability and uncertainty. Significant annual layoffs followed by external hiring, instead of investing in the development and upskilling of existing employees. Previously loyal and engaged employees are losing motivation due to a lack of long-term vision and growth prospects. No merit increases, while at the same time investing in expanding office spaces that would not be necessary without the return-to-office policy. Limited internal career growth opportunities, with a preference for hiring externally rather than promoting from within.

From top leadership to individual contributors, we all have our organizational health at heart. So, every strategic decision we make is driven by the will to strengthen our position as a key industry player and build long-term success for our company and everyone in it. We strive to set clear goals and communicate them with maximum transparency to ensure we’re all looking in the same direction. Redefining our work approach also falls under that description. By blending office presence with home office, we keep trusting our employees to choose how they manage their time, energy, and schedule, while encouraging what makes us perform best: in-person connections. We value both vertical and horizontal career growth, and that’s why there is always room at Criteo for people ready to explore alternative pathways to propel their career to the next level. Receiving open feedback helps us identify potential pain points and improve our way of doing things, so thank you for sharing.
