Pros

I know there are a lot of historical negative reviews on here, but I have to say I disagree with most of them. I have been here for a while (8+ years), and that kind of tenure doesn't come without the company doing something right! There are quirks to every company, yes, but overall this has been a fantastic place to work. The new leadership brought in over the last several years are stellar and have a clear direction for the company, are savvy at their respective roles, and are just genuinely good people! Plenty of opportunity for rewarding strong performance and opportunities for advancement. Also feel very much a part of a team, heading in one direction with a common sense or purpose and vision. You will work hard, very hard, but you are actually working for something meaningful that you can be proud of (at least in my case).

Cons

Workload has been heavy, but management is doing a good job of making some adjustments to that moving forward and ensuring there are an appropriate number of resources for the given work. I can only hope that helps ease some of the shortfalls in headcount that have been causing issues. Other than that, nothing that outstanding for cons, a good company to work for overall.

Pros

Some work from home flexibility, company-issued smart phone. If you're looking for a job here you're in luck because there's so much turn-over you're bound to get hired.

Cons

Not much opportunity for advancement and WebMD will invest very little in your career development. Leadership prefers external hires for choice positions with direct reports. But if you're hired at entry-level you are likely to remain there. You might get a promotion from "associate" to "senior" with a small pay bump but you'll probably never see any meaningful advancement into leadership no matter how talented you are. You're more likely to train your latest manager how to do the job and then watch her get promoted for being totally ordinary. What else? This place used to be filled with fun, smart, creative people but they’re leaving or have left. The only thing that matters anymore is meeting quarterly revenue projections. Managers operate in constant crisis mode as they’re barking at you to launch as much content before the end of the quarter as possible; your work/life balance is a joke. A lot of folks here are burnt-out and looking for other opportunities.

Pros

I work with some smart people with good intentions.

Cons

Senior Leadership is pretty desperate. To help boost the rating on this site, employees were asked rate the company highly. This is not a good place to work. Attrition is high for a reason.
