Pros

I've been at The Post for over three years and have been able to move around the organization while trying the best "home" for my skillset. Each manager I've worked for as treated me like a person, not just an employee, partnering with me to help build my career. The office environment is very different depending on what team you're on, but I haven't found one I've enjoyed more in my professional career. Especially with the pandemic, I realize how much I miss the office, the team collaboration, the knowledge share opportunities.

Cons

Salary is not as competitive a you'd expect from one of the most prestigious media companies in the world. I can't speak for Newsroom, but I have found that my pay for the different jobs I've had throughout the Business, Engineering and Advertising teams is consistently under what Glassdoor averages for the geolocation and years of experience associated with those roles.

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.
