Thanks for taking the time to share your experience working at The Washington Post. You mention The Post is "like a well-funded startup." We agree! We often say we're a 141 year old startup. We also agree that the people here are smart and driven to champion the cause of journalism. Thanks for your comment on the 401k match. We'll pass that onto our team!

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.
