Pros

Strong brand, many talented employees especially in design and web development. Great camaraderie amongst peers, decent work culture as far as flexibility in scheduling, great Atlanta location, benefits are okay.

Cons

There has been a lot of top leadership changes within a short period of time. The company is ran by sales people with minimal tech experience but they fail to realize that WebMD is a tech company which requires a tech leadership. Lots of talk of innovation but their "investment" goes into the wrong places. Inserting the wrong people to lead or manage the various products and teams. Non-designers with no design experience lead design teams, teams who manage products have no real understanding of them. Employees won't speak up even though there is a lot of the same sentiments across the teams but then there is the understanding that it wouldn't matter. Big misconception between top and bottom (executives vs. field employees) not sure if the communication is being skewed by the middle. Bad morale overall and little to no effort by company to improve. Loss of a lot of great talent due to current conditions with little effort from company to retain either due to arrogance or misguided communication to those in charge. Anticipate to see more exits of strong performers within a short period of time. Company has great potential to lead the industry if it would fix key components and replace some of the decision makers within a few departments
