Pros: Egmont Publishing is a well-established media company with a friendly and collaborative culture. As a content specialist, I appreciated the team's willingness to help and share knowledge, which really sped up my learning curve. The company provides a stable work environment and generally supports work flexibility, allowing for a good balance most of the time. There's a sense of camaraderie that makes coming to work, or logging on, quite pleasant.
Cons: While work-life balance is usually good, there are times, especially during major project launches or seasonal campaigns, when the workload can feel overwhelming and extend beyond standard hours. This isn't constant but can be stressful when it happens. Additionally, clearer communication from senior leadership regarding strategic direction for different departments would be beneficial for long-term planning and employee alignment.
Advice to Management: Enhance strategic communication from leadership to all levels to provide greater clarity and direction, especially during times of change. Proactively manage workload during peak periods to prevent burnout.

Pros: Egmont provides a stable environment for media professionals. I've appreciated the focus on work-life balance, allowing me to manage personal commitments without undue stress. There are also good opportunities to learn new skills and contribute to diverse projects within the Nordic media landscape. The company culture is generally welcoming, and colleagues are usually helpful.
Cons: While growth is possible, it sometimes feels tied to specific departmental needs rather than a clear, company-wide career path. The pace on some digital projects can be quite intense, leading to occasional crunch times, which could be better managed with more proactive resource planning. Some internal processes could also be streamlined.
Advice to Management: Consider more transparent career progression frameworks and ensure project resource allocation is consistently adequate to prevent team burnout.

Pros: I really enjoyed the actual work, especially collaborating on campaigns for their various media brands. The team I worked with was fantastic – supportive and knowledgeable. Being part of a large, established company in the entertainment sector meant there were always interesting challenges and opportunities to develop my skills in digital advertising and content strategy.
Cons: While individual teams are great, senior leadership communication could be more transparent. Sometimes strategic decisions felt a bit disconnected from the day-to-day realities on the ground. There's also a feeling that processes could be streamlined in certain departments for better efficiency, particularly in cross-functional projects.
Advice to Management: Consider implementing more regular, clear communication channels from leadership to all employees regarding company direction and strategic changes. This would foster a stronger sense of alignment across departments.
