Great benefits, cool offices, etc.

We deeply appreciate you taking the time to share your experience. As our employee wellbeing is a corporate priority, it's great to read that you appreciated the benefits here. As you know early last year we announced our objective to become the world’s leading Commerce Media Platform. Expanding our addressable market and creating new business opportunities might result in an increased need for flexibility from our teams. As we have been evolving into this direction ever since it is key to us that all Criteos are on board and familiar with the strategy as everyone has a role to play in our success. Best
