      Pros

      The onboarding experience amidst COVID was seamless, safe, and informative. Joining a new company during challenging times tends to amplify angst, but the HR and IT teams decreased my concern and created a great experience.

      Cons

      This comment is less of a con and general preference to have had the opportunity to meet everyone in person.

      Welcome back to The Washington Post! We often see employees leave and then come back to help further the mission of a free press. Due to the pandemic, we've had to adapt to ensure a seamless virtual onboarding experience. We're glad you've experienced that!

      Pros

      Great place to work, respectful workplace, no limit on what you can do if you're willing to work hard.

      Cons

      For me it's the commute as I live in suburban Maryland.

      Well said! The opportunities are endless within The Washington Post, especially if you embody our catalysts- shape ideas, redefine speed, take ownership and lead. Since our headquarters is in downtown Washington, D.C. the commute can be tough coming into the city. We hope the commuter benefits help ease some of the tension. Since we've been working from home since March due to the pandemic, we hope you're enjoying a new kind of commute to your work-from-home space.

      Pros

      The biggest pro is that it's...The Washington Post. It's a legacy brand that I grew up with, and a brand that is recognized for its integrity and credibility. In other words, a brand one can be enormously proud to work for, and I am.

      Cons

      None that I can think of.
