Strong product and people, but internal complexity can slow execution

Senior manager

Business Outlook

Pros

Criteo is a strong, established player in ad tech with a recognizable brand and a product that generally works — which makes it easier to open doors and build partnerships. The people are smart, collaborative, and in many cases genuinely supportive, and there’s historically been a strong culture of teamwork and autonomy.

Cons

Decision-making can be slow, and at times internal teams compete for the same business, creating confusion both internally and with clients. As a large global organization, alignment across teams and priorities isn’t always consistent, and visibility into broader strategy can feel limited. Representation of women and people of color in leadership roles has also noticeably declined in recent years.

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.
