Pros

The people! The people who have (past tense) worked here were amazing. Some of the best people I know! Most were either laid off, or left without WebMD even trying to counter them, or just quit because they were miserable.

Cons

1. The review process. I got a bad review for being out on Maternity leave. I was told by employees this would happen to me when I became pregnant, but I didn't believe it until it did. I was given an in development rating because my year wasn't long enough bc I was out....HAVING A BABY while working at a HEALTH COMPANY. 2. There is no maternity policy- just the substandard go on disability. But they give the exec team 8 weeks of FULLY paid vacation. Why not just pay out the full three months? You can certainly afford to- you spend 50x more money on awful catered sandwiches that end up in the garbage everyday or water bottles that are NOT being recycled. 3. Culture- when I resigned the manager of our group never acknowledged I was leaving. A person who was my manager for almost two years said nothing to me even though they knew I resigned without a job. Nothing. Completely ignored that I was leaving the company. Very bizarre but very telling about the type of culture they are creating. 4. Content- I wrote many emails to the teams to let them know this content should probably be updated, and was wrong or very outdated. Nothing was changed or updated. No one cares enough to correct things. 5. The CEO once said they wouldn't take a deal if it was bad for business. A certain large GMO company is currently advertising on WebMD. This isn't health focused. They have lost their own vision. 6. SO TOP HEAVY with VP's and Directors. There are so many decision makers not enough action. There is no where to grow here, no career path unless you are somehow connected to the corner office. 7. They let go some really talented people to make room for new people. This created chaos, and things a year plus later are still in swirl!
