Pros

Great Benefits Good Compensation Quarterly Bonus Travel/Cellphone expenses are reimbursed

Cons

They are losing a lot of good people. Not sure if they are not being treated correctly. The "Art Directors" in the Creative department need to stop forming personal relationships with junior employees. I have seen some inappropriate behavior in the office. Coming from a non-technical background, my interaction with the technical solutions managers has been difficult. One of the managers looks down on me every time I talk to him. I have also heard him boast about how this french company helps him evade NY taxes

Hello, Firstly, thank you so much for taking the time to submit your feedback. Every bit of feedback, even the negative reviews, are important learning to us on where we could improve further. We are very disappointed to see that overall you seem to be having a negative experience at Criteo. As a starting point, I would highly encourage you to discuss some of your concerns directly with your manager or with HR, so that we have an ability to understand them in more detail and address them appropriately. On your specific points raised: a) We actually monitor our attrition closely. While we do have employees who sometimes leave, and each departure is a huge loss for us, some amount of attrition is normal in any company, and we are not seeing anything outside of industry standards. Of course, each departure is a loss and the impact is still immeasurable. The point that you perceive this as "a lot of good people" only goes to highlight how impactful each loss actually is to us and our community. b) We are a tight community and many of our employees are friends outside of the work environment. If you are seeing something inappropriate, we do ask that you raise this through the formal channels so this can be investigated. We have high expectations of professionalism and this is a priority for us. c) We are fundamentally a technology company, and all our employees interacting with the product will be expected to have adequate technical skills for their roles. If this is an area you are struggling with, we encourage you to work with your manager on support d) International employees based in the US are subject to different tax laws - based on their individual circumstances, these sometimes work in their favour, and sometimes not. In either case, none of it is "evasion". Criteo is proud to use external auditors and tax consultancies to ensure our compliance with all regulatory obligations at all times. Again, we really encourage you to address these concerns directly with the company - we have no doubt that understanding them in more detail and working through solutions will help us all be a better place together!

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!
