Pros

Nice tech company! Schibsted is the leading media house in Sweden by far. I had a good experience and personal development. Can recommend.

Cons

High performance and high stress level. i worked with sales and of course the tempo and pace should be high. The competition between colleagues is quite and internal politics is also a bit demanding. Not so much room for creativity.

Pros

One of the best things to work in Schibsted is the work environment. People are very friendly, fun and very open to hear your ideas and help out when needed. This is one of the things that makes me want to get into work every day. Another great thing is that currently the company is going through a transformation process to become a tech company and a lot of new and exciting projects are coming up. Another thing I really enjoy is that there is a lot of space to propose ideas and innovate, regardless of your job position. I feel that generally people's opinions are really valued, at least in the teams I have worked with.

Cons

People often won't tell you what to do. Of course this can be a pro as well but I mention it as some people don't know how to work unless they are told what to do, something that happens often with developers. In this company sometimes you have to be bold and make decisions. Another cons is that the company is distributed around the world which means that lots of meetings are on videoconference, which is not always ideal. Also people are expected to travel if needed, which some people might not like.
