Pros

Small company's flexibility tagged with large head office's opportunities.

Cons

Insurance is cut down every few years No retirement plan available Processes are not innovative and creative Stock options are worth nothing to employees for the past few years Manager evaluations are bias because they get evaluated on their individual performance and not on the performance as a team manager Lack of communication and unity across the company

Pros

Smart, innovative and creative people work(ed) here but any attempts at change are immediately hampered by middle management that simply don't understand the business or are threatened by new approaches.

Cons

Huge potential to exploit revenue streams not directly tied to declining Pharma dollars However, the recruitment of an "industry insider" CEO does not bode well for any approach other than that of doubling down on previous bad bets.. Employee morale is abysmal. Anyone who has an opportunity to leave (ie: the most talented employess) has left or has one foot out the door. By Q2 2013 this company will be full of mediocre resources at best. Actually heard an executive quote "content is king" in a recent meeting. What year are they operating in? Toxic culture that rewards managing up rather than managing the business.

Pros

Work with industry leading company, and client book of business, great group of fellow employees kept me there. Great product, great opportunities for WebMD in industry long term. WebMD employees make great hires for competition because you get excellent experience and opportunity to dive in and learn.

Cons

Senior Management is myopic, has not been as effective with the changing industry and are loosing market share and strong employees, but still have a great opportunity to grow. Historically very poor work life balance. As a health and wellness company this should be unacceptable in my opinion.
