      Great place to work, once upon a time

      Pros

      The editorial team and editorial leadership are outstanding. Wonderful, talented, collaborative developers, publishers, PMs and designers on the 21st floor. This is a staff that can achieve the unachievable. I have the highest respect for the worker bees.

      Cons

      Real leadership on the 21st floor is nonexistent. It's a perfect environment if you like to work 50-60 hours a week and not be rewarded or thanked for your efforts. Beware of sharing an original idea. If you do there are one of two outcomes that will happen. The first you'll be punished for speaking up or two, if it's a really good idea it will confiscated and communicated as someone at a VP's level idea.

      Upper management and HR are all about CYA (their own, not their employees)

      Pros

      Don't get me wrong, there are some great people in leadership positions at the company, and they have been great mentors to me. There are many people there that are very smart, dedicated, and extremely hardworking.

      Cons

      People don't get compensated properly, there's tremendous disparity in how people get paid, I've seen it as a manager, and tried very hard to correct it, but the company just doesn't have the money to bring underpaid employees up to market value, so if you're at WebMD and feel that you're underpaid, you probably are and shouldn't hold your breath. Sales people sell things to clients without making sure the infrastructure exists to properly implement because they're so afraid of losing the business, and then when the implementation goes wrong, the implementation teams are to blame. HR doesn't care about the employees. They're extremely inflexible and are basically afraid that giving an inch will lead to litigation down the road. It wasn't always like this...

      Lost touch with employees

      Pros

      There once was a time when the company wanted employees to feel important, useful, helpful, but recently the constant acquisitions resulted in employees being spread thin, overworked and under appreciated. I can’t speak for every team or department, but this was my experience. I once loved the morale and energy, but that has long been depleted after IB stepped in. More and more is taken away, compensation increases are delayed by months and then barely anything to offset the rising costs of everything. This is a great place for entry level, but if you want to grow and move up, expect to do a lot for very little.

      Cons

      Upper management is kind, but doesn’t step in to fix the big problems that prevent employees for doing their best. Stop being so cheap, invest in the company a once in a while, you’ll see employees will be grateful you want to help them.
