Pros

There are a lot of really great, smart, hardworking people at Medscape, including middle managers.

Cons

Those smart, hardworking people are getting chewed up and spit out by owners/senior management. Presumably the problem is coming down from the private equity owners (Internet Brands), because this was once a great company. Everything the reviewer in "Owned by Equity Firm - Was Better Before Buy-Out" said is accurate. The average employee's merit increase for 2022 was 2% - 2.5%, which was insulting. The company was profitable and inflation was between 6% and 8%, so a 2.5% increase was indeed a pay cut. And the cost of insurance went up. Bonuses were cut back for the first time ever. There are some real problems here, red flags everywhere.

Loved my time there. Technology is a bit slow but the brand still resonates. Brand is world renown.

Cons

Company has grown resulting in more process.

Pros

My manager was truly a great person but knew that there were no real growth opportunities.

Cons

Too many to say: Toxic culture, teams literally not doing their jobs, a complete lack of leadership and the ceo is a horrible person. The sales people are legitimately some of the dumbest people I’ve met throughout my career. They don’t have an understanding of the products at all and then get angry when you try to simply explain what the actual products are and how they function.
