Strong leadership - Anonymous employee The Washington Post Employee Review

THE BEST INTERNSHIP EVER! The staff and manager was so nice

Nothing bad to say at all tbh

Talented coworkers who care strongly about the mission of supporting independent journalism.

Context: tech side of the org - C-suite will pay lip service to disruptive innovation and allowing ideas to come from anywhere, but at the end of the day you will realize they always had a pet project in mind and nothing else actually mattered. Furthermore, those ideas will have you saying "...that's what we came up with?" - C-suite & other leadership (in my professional opinion) regularly cherry-pick and misinterpret data, intentionally or not, oftentimes to support the narrative they want. - C-suite can't handle negative feedback or opposing ideas, and has actively chastised employees for speaking up. I have never felt so unsafe using my voice and challenging power, which is ironic at a newspaper. - It's famously difficult to get promoted here. Your career will progress more slowly than you ever thought was possible. - There is so much potential for growth and innovation, but if you stay for long enough you'll realize it's not possible due to the rot and misaligned incentives at the top of the organization.
