WebMD Health reviews

WebMD Health is a name that is recognized by many people in the general public, which is unusual for a company that is involved in healthcare education and communications. This is largely due to the widespread advertising campaign used to drive traffic to its family of websites, which are targeted to consumers (webmd.com) and to healthcare professionals (medscape.com; theheart.org, emedicine.com, etc). The opportunity to work in a company whose mission is to deliver high-quality healthcare information to patients as well as healthcare professionals is a rewarding one for those with strong interests in medicine, science, and/or public health.

There are a variety of technical and business opportunities to pursue across the WebMD corporation, so it's hard for your career to stagnate. They have a dedication to their employees that is rare in the high-turnover world of IT which is shown in their appreciation events, bonuses, regular review process, the rarity of layoffs and the personal concern of management. At WebMD Health there are plenty of places to pitch in and make a difference, your work will show up in front of customers in a matter of weeks or months which is a nice change from my experience with other large IT organizations.
