WebMD Health reviews

Not much opportunity for advancement and WebMD will invest very little in your career development. Leadership prefers external hires for choice positions with direct reports. But if you're hired at entry-level you are likely to remain there. You might get a promotion from "associate" to "senior" with a small pay bump but you'll probably never see any meaningful advancement into leadership no matter how talented you are. You're more likely to train your latest manager how to do the job and then watch her get promoted for being totally ordinary. What else? This place used to be filled with fun, smart, creative people but they’re leaving or have left. The only thing that matters anymore is meeting quarterly revenue projections. Managers operate in constant crisis mode as they’re barking at you to launch as much content before the end of the quarter as possible; your work/life balance is a joke. A lot of folks here are burnt-out and looking for other opportunities.

Overall company culture is very repugnant, most employees are not happy, tenured employees are not valued and replaced with less skilled and cheaper labor making it even harder for productive individuals to thrive because they have to pick up all of the slack. Cronyism is rampant and evident. Management is awarded to those who are willing to do dirty work and not skill level, most of the management are usually clueless to the work and to what is going on within the company. Executive management is completely out of touch with what is going on within their work force. It appears that HR, Mid level management have a tight knit bond and not sure what the agenda really is. Employee retention is sub par, the company let all of the talent walk and can't really recruit good talent as they won't stay longer than a month plus the company recruiting, HR, management seem to have a crony system in place, you can't really advance, they will give you pretentious "promotions" that doesn't come with any pay increases only work load.
