WebMD Health reviews

Poor and expensive benefits packages (ironically).You are expected to work very long hours with little or no additional compensation (unless the occasional dinner is compensation). The health services side of the business is growing at a fast rate and in many ways still acts like a small company. There are areas that need improvement like documentation. They rely too heavily on contractors who come and go, when they should be building a stronger permanent work force.

WebMD carries some major flaws. The internal training is very on the fly and fragmented. If they offer you a "hybrid role" do not take it. Managers have a hard time communicating with one another and ensuring that their staff is on the same page as they are. Another major flaw is that the company bleeds talent. Turnover is very high and information is lost as new employees come in and old employees (1-2 years) leave the company. This has left several managers in charge of knowing vital information. If any of these managers were to leave, the information/practices/product knowledge would go with them. It's a frightening thought! The company is also currently suing two workers who left the company and moved to a competitor. This shows just how far they will go to try and keep talent from running away. Lastly, the HR is terrible. One VP was quoted saying that WebMD's HR is pretty much a few people in a back closet. You have been warned.
