Pros

The culture is that of a fast moving company and the engineering team works on cutting edge technology. The idea is for the engineering team to develop technological products to help the newsroom at WaPo as well as other news rooms. This is the major money maker.

Cons

Synergy between the engineering team and the newsroom can be improved.

Pros

Supporting journalism is the one good thing.

Cons

The culture needs improvement, with a strict in-office policy that may not work well for everyone. There also seems to be ongoing challenges with employee retention, which can impact team morale, consistency, and long-term stability. The tech guild and unions made me feel really uncomfortable with coworkers protesting outside the office.
