Pros
Some said leaving a "Career Company" for a news publishing company was a risky move; however, being at the forefront of quality journalism and engineering advances in the industry supported by dedicated employees and of course a wealthy owner turned out to be the best career decision I've made so far! I absolutely love this place.
What I love most about The Post?
- The people - friendly and hardworking
- The positive and engaging work environment
- The location - sleek building in downtown DC - Franklin park/penthouse rooftop/Lobby Floor Gym
- The mission - quality journalism supported by boundary pushing technologyCons
None so far. Employer continues to listen, improve engagement and employee benefits.
Advice to Management
Keep up the great work! Especially with improving employee benefits and perks. You have developed a wonderful work environment for your employees. Bravo!

Application
I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at The Washington Post (New York, NY) in April 2017.
Interview
Applied online, and had one employee referral. One in-person interview, one over the phone and one writing test. Total 3 "rounds" of steps in the interview process. About a month long process. It would have been longer, including writing a “report” on analyzing social and audience data, if I progressed further into the interviewing process. Overall, a fine interview process.
