Cons

401(k) matching could be improved, health care plan is sub-par compared to other companies (many employees use spouse's health plans), management does not fill mission-critical vacancies quickly

However, it sounds like that hasn’t been your experience. If you feel comfortable, feel free to e-mail us more details at life@washpost.com. We’d appreciate the feedback!
