Pros

- Pay is decent in an above average COL Midwest college town - Work environment is collaborative and has open door policy of asking questions - AI adoption in workflow is highly encouraged/expected.

Cons

- RTO is not good. As of early 2026, you are required to come to the office 1x/week, soon will ramp up to 2x/week and 3x/week in 2027 - Layoffs - Business outlook is shakey -> layoffs

Pros

People I worked with and the culture was great, work life balance was fantastic.

Cons

Every year now it layoffs, makes one want to ask a question. Perhaps Criteo needs a better CFO to manage the companies finances. Being every year Criteo is laying people off, yet CFO still remains. Perhaps Criteo needs to look at those who are staying a bit closer.

Yet, receiving open feedback, whether positive or not, is always valuable to us, so thank you for sharing yours. We wish you the best for what comes next.
