Pros

WebMD has been lucky to get a lot of very talented people through its doors, unfortunately they don't stick around long. A well respected brand which on the downside that's the only thing they rely on to drive the company. The compensation packages are average, not greatest but not the worst. They do offer decent vacation time, holidays and sick days. Lot of people don't get to take them all because they have to work so much but they did allow some roll over. transportation assistance like parking and train.

Cons

Reviews here are indicative that WebMD hired a reputation company to hide the actual conditions at the company. I have yet to meet an employee that is acutally thrilled about the company's operation, leadership, and direction. Leadership that works there is antiquated, out of touch and has no real knowledge of what the industries are doing. They could give a pancake about how employees feel, how they are being treated because they are burning them out. HR is just there to pretend and to weed out those that may complain so they can go back to management and work on a plot to get rid of anyone expressing any type of dissatisfaction. I just don't see any growth with this company, they lack vision, experience and any type of ability to motivate their work force because transparency is non-existent, employees distrust all of the leadership. It is basically just a place to clock in and out until something better comes along. It is a shame as the company has so much potential but it should be a poster child of what not to do and how to kill any type of excitement for your job.
