Pros
Remote work is great and PTO is good if you actually use it in time. I learned a lot and gained experience, but that was thanks to my boss not WebMD. I should have left earlier.
Cons
I have never worked for a company that is so full of themselves and cares about money more than their people than WebMD does. WebMD originally interested me because I care about improving the overall wellbeing of people and their health. This was not the case in this company. Best advice if you are thinking about working here, don't. Here is a summary of my thoughts working here over the years so no one else experiences this: 1. Think you'll get your annual bonus? Think again. During Covid, business was booming and work was increasing. Due to unforeseen times and uncertainty they withheld our bonuses and merit increases from us for months. Then, they proceeded to inform us that business is better than ever and this was a record year. They are so money hungry they will work you and promise all sorts of incentives and will never follow through with their promises. 2. Want that raise or promotion? They'll hire someone else before promoting within. If inflation wasn't enough, your 3% raise you get with the company is the only thing you'll be seeing for years. It's almost laughable that the company won't increase salaries to market average-Turnover is huge because of this. Meanwhile, you have the VP's sending company wide emails showing off their elaborate vacation trips and wishing everyone a great holiday, while you can barely afford your mortgage and working overtime. 3. HR department is nonexistent. Need help or answers with company policies? Expect to get ghosted and not receive an answer at all. This company is so slimy. All they care about is money. If you work like a robot and never want an increase in your salary then this is the place for you. 4. People are so judgy here. In the office, do not expect to get a smile back from anyone working around you. It's more of an older crowd, and seems like they never developed small talk or social skills. No one cares to develop personal relationships with each other. You will never have a voice in the company unless you are CEO or a VP. All they care about is Internet Brands. 5. This company is definitely not an Amazon or Facebook. There are zero perks to working here besides the name. So many other companies have a better onboarding/incentives/work life balance/growth. All the employees here are miserable and the ones that stay are too afraid to leave because they still have hope the company will change. The company has gone downhill fast, don't feed into their lies and promises. Don't waste your breath offering advice to upper management either, It will never happen and the company is not changing.
