Pros

WebMD is a great brand. For me, the 15th Street location is convenient.

Cons

The CEO and other high level management is keenly aware of the negative office culture but it is left to persist. There is a lack of camaraderie and positive leadership. Too many people are allowed to coast, pass the buck and finger-point. It's difficult to rise without playing into the office politics.

Pros

As others say, colleagues are generally easy to get along with, offices are bright and comfortable, nice work-life balance, competitive salaries and benefits, lots of smart people who are sincere in their quest to offer health and wellness improvement to customers.

Cons

So disappointed in my experience here. Even though coworkers are nice enough, there is little camaraderie or sense of team. If I don't say "good morning," no one else does. It always, always feels like you are just waiting for the other shoe to drop -- and not in a good way. There seems to always be a problem and no good resolution. Even when one thing resolves another crops up. Program managers are overloaded and overworked, so it is hard for them to focus on priorities. Systems are outdated and contribute to inefficiencies in work. For the tenure of the company to date, it is frightening how much is on the table to get "fixed" ASAP. I really wanted it to work here, but it is not the place for me.

Pros

You will be invisible, so if you are looking for a job with no growth that you can coast at for a few years, this is it. Everyone at the company is looking for a new job and everyone is really helpful in sending your resume out to their network, there is a lot of comradery between employees right now on helping each other get out....misery loves company!

Cons

This place has been in a downward spiral since 2011, and just continues to get worse. The executive team is a hot mess who keeps changing and growing, seriously hire some more top level vp's, with no results. NO RESULTS. They keep dead weight around and push people out who have good ideas and are motivated to get things done. Nothing gets done because everyone is so afraid of making any mistakes or being caught with the blame. It is really sad what is happening here, they are driving this once excellent brand into the ground quickly.
