Working at WebMD in New York City, NY: 9 Employee Job Reviews by Real Employee working in New York City, NY Area

"WebMD has been around for a while and continues to evolve (not necessarily always for the better). Since the company was acquired, there's been a lot of cost-cutting.

"I'm completely satisfied with the company, the culture, my colleagues. No micromanaging, everyone is friendly, intelligent, and willing to help. Flexible work schedule, very little overtime.
