Pros

well lit, comfortable office cool products socially relevant and valuable customer (the newsroom)

Cons

complex and disorganized management structure so many managers superhero culture top down power structure with strong features of micromanagement, and paranoid, rigid control chaos creates burnout and random constant direction changes at every level

We’re disappointed to hear your feedback about working at The Washington Post. We take it seriously as we strive to be a great place to work for everyone. In terms of management, we’ve invested in growing a strong management and leadership team. Several years ago, we launched The Leadership Project to train, coach, and come alongside managers so they can build strong teams. Your feedback suggests otherwise and we’d like to hear more so that we can better understand what support we can provide. Feel free to confidentially email us with more specific details so we can address it: life@washpost.com. Thanks in advance.

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.
