Critical response
On the review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes, the first season has an approval rating of 87% based on 15 reviews, with an average rating of 8.0/10. The website's critics consensus reads, "Corporate takes a bleak, absurdist look at corporate life to deliver a clever show with a more nihilistic bent than your typical workplace comedy." On Metacritic, which assigns a normalized rating, the series has a score 75 out of 100, based on 7 critics, indicating "generally favorable reviews".

Variety reviewed the series, calling it, “Deliciously dark and hilariously ruthless…a scathing satire of contemporary office culture that feels long, long overdue."

Adweek also lauded the show saying, “It’s the kind of universe building that’s usually reserved for prestige dramas…or big-budget sci-fi feature films.”
