Pros

- TWP has a great culture with a lot of transparency and collaboration across teams and orgs. - Career development and ongoing 'leadership/management' training is taken very seriously here; the HR team does an exceptional job - Heavy investment in product and engineering, but with shared common goal of enabling growth within the newsroom (talent, coverage, etc). - The DC office is beautiful physical space to get to work in every day

Cons

- Benefits could be a bit better (although to TWP's credit, they do seem to be getting better) - Could use a bit more top-down transparency around long-term strategy; I feel I get more insight into TWP's strategy from industry publications than I do from leadership - Speed is is a cultural pillar at TWP, but I've found it often comes at a cost

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.
