I learned a lot, quickly. My work had immediate and wide exposure, and my coworkers were fantastic.
Cons
There was little transparency from management and a general lack of stability, which are normal news industry things I guess. Made for a tough environment to do one's best work, though.

Thank you for the review and feedback. Management and leadership is something we continue to focus on. This year, we've launch The Leadership Project, a series of ongoing development opportunities for all leaders across The Post. We've passed along our feedback about transparency to that team. Thank you again for your feedback. We have a commitment toward growth and making The Washington Post a great place to work for all. We’d love to hear more specifics. Feel free to e-mail us: life@washpost.com.
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.
