      A mix of Good and Bad - Account Executive Criteo Employee Review

      Pros

      Amazing team members, at least in Sales, even though we are all individual contributors, we feel very much connected and supportive of each other. Good Covid-19 support in terms of home equipment, mental support. Though it would have been better to just get a stipend to buy the equipment instead of submitting receipts+get compensation for other expenses.

      Cons

      Disconnected top leadership, many internal blockers for execution, the job involves more moving the needle inside of the company rather than selling the product outside. The leadership likes to have many feedback sessions, where no comments are written by them, no actionable resolution is offered, no accountability or ownership of a problem/solution. The worse part - over-achievement is penalized in the long run, higher targets, and less desire of the management to promote top performers. Instead, mediocre employees that provide bad level of service and underachieve are promoted and/or get lower targets.

      Thanks for sharing your perspective. We continue to work to get qualitative and quantitative feedback from our team members through listening sessions and regular engagement and manager surveys to understand how our employees feel. We use this feedback to create tangible action plans to continue to improve the employee experience. Your manager should be including you in discussions about the results of employee surveys - we encourage you to talk to your Manager or your local People Partner if you have further feedback to communicate. We thank you for your hard work over the last 3-4 years and your continued contribution to Criteo's success.

      Pros

      Good work life balance, all young people.

      Cons

      Taking away perks that we have had for a long time. Eventually reach your cap as an IC.

      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!
