Pros

The people for the most part genuinely care about doing their jobs. You won't be challenged too much if you don't want to. Titles are generally inflated which looks good on a resume for your next job which you'll need if you really want to grow in your career.

Cons

It's mostly non-development. You'll find yourself changing text, writing queries, but rarely doing anything classified as "software engineering". The main focus is on the short term deadline driven "request" of the client rather than on longer term investment in making things efficient and solving problems in a way that is sustainable. As more experienced folks leave, replacements are brought in with much less experience to save salary. If you're looking for an actual job in development or quality assurance, apply in Product Development or at another company.

Welcoming and Supportive

Pros

Supportive Management; many opportunities for cross-functional training; supportive of continuous education...internal and external; EXCELLENT work-life balance; balanced management (skills, gender, etc...)

Cons

Could use a more formal new hire training program for quicker "turn-up" time of new employees. A WebMD Health employee onsite for Benefits related Human Resources needs would be very helpful to new employees. Telling them to just call Customer Service isn't very personalized and friendly.

Tech Debt?

Pros

See title - There are many opportunities to learn interesting things about the past as well as refactoring with strange requirements. Also people are generally really nice and happy to help you with whatever you are doing. Very cooperative regarding Working From Home or flex time.

Cons

See title - Lots of tech debt means new development is harder.
