      Pros

      I'm grateful to be at a media company that is as innovative, openminded and forward-looking as The Post. I have always felt supported and feel strongly it's a place where you can build a career. Beginning in 2020, all employees are given five months paid parental leave, which is a benefit that is important to me and shows me that The Post care about parents.

      Cons

      Like so many newsrooms, we are confronting the lack of diversity within our ranks. As a journalist of color, I'm happy to see this is being taken seriously by leadership.

      We’re so glad to see that you believe in The Post’s mission both as an employer and an organization. Thank you for being part of the team. It seems your response about diversity cut off in the review, and we would like to hear more about your thoughts. Feel free to reach out to life@washpost.com so we can continue the conversation. While we still have work to do, we hope you have started to see our commitment to this by increasing roles dedicated to diversity and publicly measuring our progress on diversity through the annual report.

      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.
