Insipid culture meets egotists galore - Marketing Analyst WebMD Health Employee Review

A morgue lacking in culture, values, and innovation. The tech infrastructure is a continual maelstrom of errors and backend glitches. There is perpetual confusion amongst internal teams on how internal technologies work, resulting in even larger errors and further encouraging a negative feedback loop. Automation is generally not a consideration even in iterative processes for fear of custom client asks (get good engineers, build a validator). Some managers in Analytics will not even know Python is, a reveal into how utterly lacking and behind the place is in terms of their tech people. More generally, across all teams, the people here tend to be overworked and cannot afford improvement due to tight deadlines and lofty understaffing. Furthermore, there is a culture of "old blood"- newcomers beware of a non-innovative company. Good ideas will be turned down. Most people have been around for years and have not kept up with the shifting industry. On top of that, the culture overall is exceptionally business-oriented and bureaucratic. Your team members will not ask how your weekend went, rather they will jump straight into "business". Forget about getting to know your coworkers at a personal level. People also tend to have inflated egos because they work at "WebMd", a recognized name, while oblivious to the mundanity of their work and the prosaic nature of the business. Overall, the culture is complete garbage, the people are too overworked, and the work itself does not account for the name. You will not do your best work here, and should you want to make something of your resume, just avoid this place all together. If you are just looking for a job though, and you're patient, then this will do. Think of it as a stepping stone or the place you go to let your career die.
