      Pros

      Pros: Decent Middle management, working for a World Class Brand and excellent sales support. Great Work/Life balance and good overall culture.

      Cons

      Cons: Lacking in the technology and Programmatic department, slow on the uptake and staying relevant/competitive in the marketplace. Salaries are not very competitive and opportunities for growth are non-existent. Lack of Brand Identity: too Washington DC focused and not enough of a national New site focus.

      Thank you for taking time to write a review. We love hearing about our employees’ (past and present) positive experiences working with us. We hope you've followed us over the years as we have focused on being a media company for the world, not just our beloved DC. Thank you for allowing The Washington Post to be part of your career journey!
