      Nice place to start, they don't seem to want us to stay

      Pros

      World-renowned paper, gets much respect from other employers, friends and family. Better funded than most media. A lot of software development happening.

      Cons

      Retention of pre-Bezos employees seems to be very low priority. The union is weak, don't get stuck in a union job. Very little promotion from within. Culture is fake.

      Thanks for taking the time to write a review. We’re glad to hear that you’ve had a positive experience overall. We would, however, like to understand your feedback concerning upward growth and diversity in upper management. While we have been working diligently to expand our diversity initiatives, we realize there is still more work to do. If you feel comfortable, we would like to get more of your thoughts on how we can improve in these areas. Feel free to confidentially e-mail us at life@washpost.com.
