Pros

Industry-leading journalists producing generation-defining work. It is and always will be a great news organization, because an endless number of talented young people with an urge to prove themselves will show up and give it their all. This legendary hustle culture will persist.

Cons

Endorsement politics aside, it has just been poorly managed on a catastrophic level. A Post employee who joined in 2021 and stayed five years will have served under four CEOs (Ryan, Stonesifer, Lewis, D’Onfrio) and four editors-in-chief (Barron, Barr, Buzbee, Murray). If you are accustomed to a basic level of competence from leadership, you won’t find it here.

Pros

Hard working colleagues, at times.

Cons

I found a lot of people I worked with were just racking up sinecures they felt they had earned. Lots of laziness.
