Ditto what "Owned by Equity Firm - Was Better Before Buy-Out" said

Anonymous employee

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.
