RecommendsPositive OutlookApproves of CEOI have been working at The Washington Post full-time (Less than a year)
Pros
- TWP has a great culture with a lot of transparency and collaboration across teams and orgs.
- Career development and ongoing 'leadership/management' training is taken very seriously here; the HR team does an exceptional job
- Heavy investment in product and engineering, but with shared common goal of enabling growth within the newsroom (talent, coverage, etc).
- The DC office is beautiful physical space to get to work in every dayCons
- Benefits could be a bit better (although to TWP's credit, they do seem to be getting better)
- Could use a bit more top-down transparency around long-term strategy; I feel I get more insight into TWP's strategy from industry publications than I do from leadership
- Speed is is a cultural pillar at TWP, but I've found it often comes at a costAdvice to Management
Begin holding quarterly meetings around state of the business and long-term strategy.
