The company has fully embraced technology as our unique differentiator. This distinguishes us not only within the publishing field, but in the media ecosystem at large. The Post invests heavily in its people and its products. Since we are privately, held can have focus on the long term vision and not get sidetracked by volatile market conditions.
Cons
The Post is 143 years old, and the identity of the company has undergone a sea change in the past 5 years. Old habits do die hard though, so there is sometimes a difficulty in getting full buy in/embrace of new/different ideas.

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.
