Great work culture, best company I have worked for so far!
|
|
Really friendly and caring colleagues!
Sustainable product idea and a much loved brand by all of Sweden!
Variation in work tasks!
Willingness to improve - my opinion matters!
Possibility to develop and learn
Internal career opportunities via Schibsted organisation
|
The organisation and work processes have undergone a large change recently. This is not bad really, more so different and we have a bit to learn before everything runs smoothly. On the other hand, we as employees had the opportunity to be part of this.

Great company and generous employer
|
|
Blocket has a great product and has been quite successful in getting the Swedish people to like Blocket. Even as an employee, it is hard not to love the company. At Blocket you are able to work with Sweden's most loved online service and make a difference for the environment. When coming to Blocket you meet a group of great people with both heart and competence. The warm and friendly atmosphere makes you feel very comfortable and that you are able to be yourself. In addition, Blocket offers generous employee benefits and its office has a central location next to Stockholm Central Station.
Since Blocket is part of the Schibsted Media Group with companies in many different countries this provides for great career opportunities. Many are those former Blocket employees who have moved abroad to go work with another Schibsted company.
|
Blocket could use further employees with more work life experience.

Great team, great product
|
|
I really connect with Blockets mission, it makes me proud. Huge reach - I love to develop a product that's being used by million of swedes every week. From a tech perspective exciting to work with products on a global scale thru Schibsted
|
Matrix organization is slower than it used to be.

Where dreams come to die
|
|
* Minimum effort 9-5
* Great location for commuters (next to the central station)
|
* Schibsted runs this ship, don't expect to have anything to say or being able to change things for the better.
* Cramped office space, although great location.
* Lots of bureaucracy.
* Culture that prefers yes-sayers.

They take care of you
|
|
Never felt more like a company valued my stay there before or since. They give you the feeling that they really want and like you as an employee.
|
This is a company where time passes really quickly, and unfortunately the work isn't very fulfilling. They way you get treated is without fault, but you do get the feeling that you are an asset more than you are an individual.

Create a more creative environment where employees have the opportunity to grow. I also want to feel like i'm putting my skillset into something i can be proud of, not simply maintaining a cashcow.

Great 9-5 on a slowly sinking ship
|
|
The life/work balance is great.
Office location, right next to Stockholm central, is perfect.
I would recommend this to a friend who has a family and/or just wants a steady 9-5.
|
Banners, banners, banners...it's all about banners...and collecting user data of course.
Once upon a time Blocket was a great product but people got lazy. Now it's all about squeezing in banners instead of developing the product and making it better, and the competition is catching up.
Noisy workplace.
Boring office.
Benefits.

There are talented people working in the tech department, they are sadly held back by management.
Trust in them and let them build an awesome product.
