Pros

The Post employs some of the smartest people I have ever worked with. They also care passionately about the mission of The Post, and about supporting each other.

Cons

The culture is irreparably toxic. Leadership (VP and up) is consistently dishonest, egotistical, and has no interest in growing or supporting the people they manage. In the tech org alone, there has never been an all hands meeting in more than a year where the CTO didn’t outright lie. And if you need further proof, see any reporting on Will Lewis … the morally bankrupt fish rots from the head. Also, don’t expect to climb the ladder here … It is incredibly rare that top performers are promoted or recognized … the company would rather hire someone new than acknowledge good work.

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.
