Pros

Name recognition is good, that's the best thing I can say.

Cons

Poor management. Micromanaging is the way they run their sales departments. HR is a whole other issue, especially their lack of communication.

The Washington Post Response

Thank you so much for taking the time to write a review – we appreciate it when former employees take the time to leave us feedback. We’re disappointed to hear that you feel there was poor communication in the HR department and poor management in the Sales department. At The Washington Post, manager training is something we are committed to and work on throughout the year with our “Take the Lead” series and The Leadership Project. We would love it if you would email us at life@washpost.com with more details so we can do better in the future.

Pros

Supporting journalism is the one good thing.

Cons

The culture needs improvement, with a strict in-office policy that may not work well for everyone. There also seems to be ongoing challenges with employee retention, which can impact team morale, consistency, and long-term stability. The tech guild and unions made me feel really uncomfortable with coworkers protesting outside the office.
