Pros

Strong heritage, great brand, trusted publication, friendly and intelligent coworkers. This is a good place to be if you want to proud of your company's role in society.

Cons

The pay isn't great, and there's a lot of obliqueness about what people make. The news industry is in really tough times, and there have been lots of recent staff cutbacks. These problems aren't unique to WashPost Co. but are a big problem for the entire industry right now.

Pros

Hard working colleagues, at times.

Cons

I found a lot of people I worked with were just racking up sinecures they felt they had earned. Lots of laziness.
