Pros

I work with the Arc Publishing team within The Washington Post and I am constantly amazed at the wide range of opportunities available in this organization. Journalism (obviously!), software engineering, digital product development, legal services, human resources and talent development, sales and account management, PR, social media, and more. Regardless of your background and skill set, if you're passionate about supporting the highest standards in journalism (and helping other organizations do the same), I highly recommend you consider a position at The Washington Post. I've felt valued, supported, encouraged, and fairly compensated in my role, and I'm looking forward to further developing my career here.

Cons

Some of the teams feel "siloed" at times and communication may suffer because of this. Leadership is predominantly white and male. I would love to have a few more diverse voices at the table.

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.
