      A Decline in Strategy, Stability, and Morale

      Business Outlook

      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.

      Declining leadership effectiveness and employee morale from what used to be a strong culture

      Anonymous employee

      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      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!

      Used to be great to work at

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Great colleagues, international environment, good perks and decent remuneration

      Cons

      The company once used to be great. This unfortunately changed significantly after the arrival of the new CEO and the redomiciliation from Europe to the US. Political games, leaders with no clear vision and employees who are on the verge of burnout. Constant rounds of layoffs, with more Senior Management positions being created. Mandated RTO seems to be the only change the new CEO brought in his 1y in desk. Freezing of merit increases this year and preferential promotions granted always to the people they like and not the people that are worth it. Investment in new offices in a year that cost savings are required. C- suite leadership does not seem to be strong or trustworthy enough. No recent product innovations, keeping Criteo behing compared to its competitors.
