      Pros

      Welcoming staff; thorough job training; opportunities for continued education; generous moving stipend; 6 month parental leave; empathetic management; having your work be seen by a massive audience.

      Cons

      1) Before the pandemic, a con was not being able to work remotely. That could be more flexible after we go back to the office. Would be great to have that be a more accepted practice. 2) Newsroom diversity still an issue

      We’re glad that you see the culture and benefits as one that empowers employees. Thank you for also mentioning diversity and remote working. The Washington Post performs best when we have a diverse and inclusive culture. So far, we’ve added more diversity-focused roles and launched an annual report to track how we are performing in this area. We’d like to learn more about your perspective on diversity and remote working. Feel free to confidentially email us at life@washpost.com to give more detailed 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.
