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".
