Pros

Free fruit. Standing treadmills that nobody uses.

Cons

Beware! This company has yearly layoffs! toxic environment, management that has never managed and doesn't know how to manage. Nobody wants to help, nobody will even say good morning. Stay away! Funny how all the negative, true statements are gone, and HR has replaced them with good reviews. And they have admitted it! So glad I am outta here!

Disappointing Experience with a Negative Trajectory

Pros

You can find some amazing talent if you look hard enough. Everyone who has a role of a "doer" instead of a "manager" seems to come in with optimism and skill.

Cons

I would first like to discuss the fake reviews on this site. It is very disappointing to see them. WebMD was once a highly respected company and stooping to that level is a new low. There seems to be at least 2+ managers or senior managers for each person who actually produces work. Every employee is highly overworked and over stressed. It is a shame to see such talent go to waste. Cries for support go ignored, meetings with managers get cancelled regularly, and of course, there are a select few favorites that get the much-needed attention while the rest of your department may flounder. There are too many silos of information and lack of inter department cooperation. There is a very "us vs. them" attitude when in reality, we should all be working together to make a great site for our consumers and clients. All in all, you are being set-up to fail, and then managers are able to use that as a negative in an already very shady review process each year.

Pros

Free coffee and water. Convenient office location.

Cons

Blatant discrimination. Inept management.. Lack of resources. No advancement opportunities. Awful HR department. I won't restate all of the bad things said in other reviews, except to say that they are all true. I would like to touch on a large problem of discrimination against workers WITHOUT families. If you are single and childless, expect to pick up all kinds of slack for your coworkers with families. These coworkers will be given even accommodation you can imagine -- lesser workload, flex schedules, the opportunity to convert their jobs to remote positions. Meanwhile, single employees are expected to be in the office at all hours, every day, and will be given more and more work, along with more time-sensitive projects, to compensate. This was my personal experience, as well as the experience of numerous other (now former employees). Oh, and don't bother trying to file a complaint with HR. You'll be retaliated against, because HR will immediately turn around and report your complaint to your manager. HR is not on your side -- always remember that and never trust them.
