Pros

The Post produces great journalism and you're surrounded, mostly, by wonderful colleagues. It is a place you can feel proud to work for.

Cons

The management leaves a lot to be desired and is rarely responsive to the needs of staff. There is a hubris that permeates the upper levels of management that clouds their assessment of their own shortcomings.

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.
