WebMD Employee Reviews

Uber woke work environment even though the political pendulum in the country is swinging the other way. Lots of incompetent management and DEI hires. Imagine a consumer health website that thinks men can give birth and favors using the term pregnant person instead of pregnant woman. Ridiculous.

Great management and training here

Excellent opportunities to learn and grow. They support lateral moves to try out different roles and departments. The technology stack is modern snd incressingly a joy to work with as a sizable portion of developer time is being devoted to upgrade and update the architecture and design.

WebMD is awful. The leadership comes from finance and does not understand the healthcare market. Got out while I could!

Very bureaucratic, dysfunctional and siloed company. No vision, expertise, depth and little insight into the educational and information needs of MDs. All they want is eyeball clicks for their digital advertisers, which means their content is superficial.

They take their time explaining new concepts and want to see you succeed

Suport our efforts to provide excellent customer and client service while also developing best in class products. They empower employees and value their expertise. Decision making is pushed down to where the information about clients, participants, and clinical experts.

We have good leaders, just a nutty CEO.

Our leadership team is clueless

nothing really, they're distant and not involved in the business

It won't get better until th current leadership leaves

Managing, inspiring, communicating, team building and problem solving.

The company was bought via leveraged buyout, so the mindset is "repaying debt", not "growth". The revenue/performance is high despite cuts, but the company continues to remove benefits, doesn't fill empty positions, replaces full teams with offshore workers & pushes for uncompensated "promotions"

Annual bonus that's somewhat connected to division performance. Our division, WebMD Health Services, has been doing great so bonuses are way up.

Getting paid on a regular schedule

Company does not compensate employees fairly despite record profits. Greedy shareholders.

WebMD needs to catch up with the market. They will but in the meantime they will lose good people.

I make the top of the salary range for my position at WebMD but could make at least 1/3 more if I want to an ad agency

We are all in the same boat and it bonds us together

Smart, hardworking people who really care about doing their best work.

Committed, motivated top performers that believe in the vision.

everyone is overworked and miserable. it's a lot of complaining

In early years at the company, progress was fast and skill could be showcased and rewarded. Over the last 3 years bureaucracy & red tape (in builds/deployments) have scared off new devs and slowed projects to a halt. This was implemented without clear reason or a measure to gauge effectiveness.

Generally friendly people who want to do their best

Support in architecting, designing, developing, and incrementally delivering software and web apps that we're proud of. Its more important to do a good job than to meet an aggressive client timeline. Agile methodology with Kanban practice ensures we rarely need to work overtime.

An inspiring vision that benefits individuals and communities alike.

You should know total disconnect with having managers in another country hard to communicate with them logically

More dynamic and talented managers who know how to problem solve and work as a team

A new CEO who understood the company would be nice.

hire more people - stop overloading everyone

The new parent company is toxic. The mindset is clearly to gut the company, replace as many positions as possible with offshore, continue removing benefits, leave vital positions empty & generally make short-sighted decisions. They could at least reward existing employees for keeping the lights on.

It was fine leave me alone

Training for people to conduct interviews.

Not of interest to me to improve the interview process

it's long, you meet with a ton of people, but they don't give you an accurate sense of what you're actually going to find at the company at all

Developing software with an enthusiastic group of energized and motivated professionals. Knowing that our software web apps are used by millions to help imrprove their health and wellness.

Certain aspects of my job are quite interesting.

The mission, the results and the opportunity to be part of something meaningful.

WebMD and Medscape are run on an extremely old system. Its band aid after band aid, and beyond frustrating for developers and coders.

Get rid of current management. There are far too many problems to write in this little box

more people to get the work done right and quickly.

Properly compensate the employees who are left. The company mindset is that of "reduction" despite continued solid revenue & performance. If the mindset can't change, at least reward employees with a fraction of the savings who are taking on 2 or more closed positions and new uncompensated tasks.
