Pros

You'll be surrounded by smart people Fantastic NYC location in the Google building Trying to be more innovative due to failing old business model Organization is relatively flat - senior executives are accessible Strong brand, just about everyone in the U.S. knows WebMD

Cons

Company is in crisis and is trying to reinvent itself Poor employee morale - they've been taken through the ringer given recent layoffs and other cost cutting measures It will be a a couple of years probably before this company can turn itself around

Pros

I don't think there is much left

Cons

This company is about to turn into sweat shop. CEO and team keep iterating "innovation" but yet the workforce has been reduced tremendously on a already tight ship. The work for those left behind has probably doubled and they simply think that this is possible to "innovate" under those circumstance, it is very blatant that the new CEO never work in tech. WebMD has no sense of employee retention, it must believe that it must be an honor to work for this brand. The company will have to ante up on the remainder of employees which pretty much has been the cream of crop or those with the most knowledge base because their workload has just double and the company has not mentioned any types of incentives to keep them around. A few will stick around to see if there will be some sort of compensation for the massive pressure placed upon them The brand has much potential but unfortunately has been completely led wrong, if it doesn't get it right this time it may be the last straw. Not sure what happened but it used to be a fun company to be at. It turned from a sunny day into hurricane sandy. Not very excited about the future but miracles do happen on rare occasions maybe this will be one.
