Thanks for writing a review. You're right. We are rapidly growing having surpassed 1MM digital subscribers and expanding key teams in the Newsroom. It's an exciting time to work at The Washington Post! Thanks for the feedback on the 401(k) match. We'll pass it along to our team. Thanks for your feedback!

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.
