Pros

Wonderful employees, editorial, sales very strong. They try to accommodate client needs to ensure they are happy and return for future business. Strong content and audience.

Cons

The executive team manages up. They are out for themselves and not always the business. The MedScape executive team makes poor decisions when they need to let staff go often keeping people they like who are not high performers and letting go of others who are extremely talented.

Pros

Working at WebMD is initially very attractive; great location, free fruit and coffee in the break room and a publicly traded "brand name" company on your resume. Good benefits. That's about it.

Cons

After working at WebMD it became clear that the corporate culture is fairly toxic. The honest reviews below have all spoken to this and it warrants prospective or current employees to heed fair warning. There is little room for advancement, even if you are considered a high achieving employee. Middle and upper management is unprofessional and unclear - at times specifically misleading employees about the direction of the department or company. If you choose to work here don't expect to enjoy the environment, don't expect to advance professionally, but get ready to watch some of the best managers get laid off semi-annually or more frequently. The review system is top down, low achieving or poor managers are protected by their review system since lower level employees never have their voice heard. The company's attempts to hit positive numbers each quarter leads to a shortsighted and shallow approach. I'm pretty sure numbers given to outside entities have been "fluffed".

Pros

great insurance, vacation time, sick time, 401K, fun environment and awesome coworkers. the company does plan fun things for us to do (nice Christmas party, BBQ, some other random activities a couple times per year) you will most likely meet and make great friends here.

Cons

The job has clearly changed and the company has made it clear that its all about numbers and not so much on helping people. Very competitive which takes away from what we are there to do. Not much room for advancement unless u want to go to QA or be a supervisor but not much after that.
