Pros

Working at WebMD is initially very attractive; great location, free fruit and coffee in the break room and a publicly traded "brand name" company on your resume. Good benefits. That's about it.

Cons

After working at WebMD it became clear that the corporate culture is fairly toxic. The honest reviews below have all spoken to this and it warrants prospective or current employees to heed fair warning. There is little room for advancement, even if you are considered a high achieving employee. Middle and upper management is unprofessional and unclear - at times specifically misleading employees about the direction of the department or company. If you choose to work here don't expect to enjoy the environment, don't expect to advance professionally, but get ready to watch some of the best managers get laid off semi-annually or more frequently. The review system is top down, low achieving or poor managers are protected by their review system since lower level employees never have their voice heard. The company's attempts to hit positive numbers each quarter leads to a shortsighted and shallow approach. I'm pretty sure numbers given to outside entities have been "fluffed".

Fake reviews are shameful and awful

Pros

I've learned a lot in my job and I hope this job will serve me well in the next job. Notice I'm not considering a career here, still.

Cons

The five star "great" reviews below are a pathetic attempt by HR to make the company look good. Who are you fooling? Why don't you invest your time in making people happy and proud to work here? What is your function? Oh dear oh dear.

Pros

I worked at WebMD for many years (10+) and loved the early years. Management was supportive and co-workers were collaborative. We built a great brand. Comp and benefits were also good.

Cons

Senior management has created a truly toxic environment. Managers will do anything and everything to make themselves and their numbers look better - employees are mere cogs in the system, a disposable commodity. If you like vicious politics this is the place for you!
