Pros

Work from home days for some employees; health insurance and 401K are OK; free bottles of water, 2 half day summer fridays

Cons

no career growth; too many senior-level managers who need to justify their positions by micromanaging; content management system is a dinosaur and excruciatingly clunky to work in; middle and senior management warm conference room seats all day while the very understaffed and burnout cogs in the machine below them do the grunt work, yet are rarely thanked; family leave policy is non-existent; HR are the worst I've very experienced; resistance to hire internally or to mentor lower level employees, always bring in someone new; status quo all the way, and they like that; this place is not for ambitious people; if you are ambitious and make it a point to set and reach self-development goals in the hope that you will be promoted to more meaningful work at WebMD--don't do it as you will be wasting your time
