Based on responses from Criteo's employees themselves, the company's array of employee benefits and perks set it apart from others – including 100 percent employer-sponsored premium healthcare coverage, a generous time off policy, 401K matching, health and fitness initiative, and employee discounts. The company's culture is a strong attractive factor amongst employees, enhanced by fully stocked kitchens, frequent office events and outings, happy hours, and arcade and game rooms that inspire friendly competition and comradery among coworkers. Its competitive compensation and career advancement track provide employees with the opportunity for rapid growth, including international career opportunities starting from early on in their careers. Employees can take responsibility for building their own balance between work and life, fun and play. This complements the employees' passion for building disruptive advertising technologies that are driving the industry forward.

"With hundreds of companies applying and going through the rigorous employer and employee survey process for the 2014 Ad Age Best Places to Work list, the competition was tough. The organizations that rose to the top are incredibly deserving," said Natalie Zmuda, deputy managing editor at Advertising Age. "In today's dynamic business environment, talent is a key differentiator. The leadership teams we've honored have perfected the art of recruiting, developing and retaining talent, setting their firms apart from others in the advertising and media world. And they've carefully, thoughtfully crafted a culture and a work environment that anyone would be lucky to be a part of."

"We are thrilled that Criteo is included on Advertising Age's Best Places to Work list," said Eric Eichmann, president and chief operating officer at Criteo. "We work hard to ensure our employees enjoy coming to work every day while building their career and to provide an environment that inspires them to be innovative and the best in the industry."

Submissions were evaluated by Advertising Age research partner Buck Consultants LLC. With nearly a century of experience in employee and human resource consulting, Buck crafted two surveys to help Advertising Age find the companies with the best benefits and most-engaged employees. The employer survey contained about 100 questions, including questions about pay, promotions, health care and other benefits and hiring practices. The employee survey contained about 50 questions. It measured aspects of the workplace environment that contribute to an engaged staff, including matters such as fairness of pay, vacation time, relationships with management and co-workers, career development and other workplace issues. Any agency, ad tech or media company with more than 40 full-time employees in the U.S. was eligible.
