Pros

This company has so much potential to be amazing. People work hard, and you learn a lot about technology and wellness. Flexible work life balance.

Cons

WHS does not simply do much to retain their good and loyal employees bottom line. There is no culture among the employees and no guidance for growing one's career. The good people either get eliminated, laid off or quit. WebMD needs to do a better job at keeping good talent. Annual reviews are a joke and provide no guidance on career growth. Senior leadership has been completely changed and continues to have high turnover.

Pros

Work from home days for some employees; health insurance and 401K are OK; free bottles of water, 2 half day summer fridays

Cons

no career growth; too many senior-level managers who need to justify their positions by micromanaging; content management system is a dinosaur and excruciatingly clunky to work in; middle and senior management warm conference room seats all day while the very understaffed and burnout cogs in the machine below them do the grunt work, yet are rarely thanked; family leave policy is non-existent; HR are the worst I've very experienced; resistance to hire internally or to mentor lower level employees, always bring in someone new; status quo all the way, and they like that; this place is not for ambitious people; if you are ambitious and make it a point to set and reach self-development goals in the hope that you will be promoted to more meaningful work at WebMD--don't do it as you will be wasting your time

Pros

Healthy food and snacks, nice people to work with

Cons

We just had our third round of layoffs since I joined the company. Management is just trying to sell company and there are more layoffs to come in the next 60 days. The company is own by an investment firm that does not have a long term view of the company. Most people I know here are already looking for new jobs...
