A company with potential but sad work ethics at management level - Digital Marketing WebMD Health Employee Review

Where do I even begin? At this company, merit often takes a backseat to office politics and personal bias. Your value is assessed not by your work ethic or outcomes, but by how well you cater to the leadership’s personal preferences. Rules change without notice, and favoritism isn’t an exception — it’s the norm. Performance reviews and promotions are influenced by relationships, not contributions. Recognition is often taken by those in power, while the real contributors are dismissed or mocked. Professional boundaries, especially for women, are poorly respected. If you maintain a no-nonsense work ethic and avoid the social games, you're quickly labelled and sidelined. Conversations often cross into inappropriate territory, and personal matters are treated as fair game. Meanwhile, those who play along with the ingrained biases and flatter the right people are rewarded — regardless of actual impact or skill. It’s a culture where surviving means staying silent, becoming invisible, or compromising your self-respect.
