Interviewed Dec 2010 in New York, NY (took 2 weeks)
Applied and got a call within 4 days. Set up a date/time for phone interview. Phone interview went ok (I guess you can't really do much in a phone interview for a senior technical position). Got called for a in-person interview. Was surprised to find a computer based skills test had to be taken. But I was a good fit for the position and was working on the technology platform almost everyday in my previous position. I got a call a week later informing me that I got the position.

Interviewed Dec 2010 in New York, NY (took a day)
The office location in NYC is great and the actual offices were great, modern, open, and friendly environment. Looks like a great place to work.
I had a great meeting with the hiring manager, he asked relevant questions about my background. It was a very comfortable exchange, felt more like a conversation than an interview. I was explained what the responsibilities of the role would be and the benefits of the company. By the end of the interview there was mutual interest.
Unfortunately, there was a decision not to fill the position. It took a few weeks to be told this, but I'm sure this was a difficult decision.
Overall, I had a great experience and would be interested in WebMD in the future.

Interviewed Jan 2010 in New York, NY (took 1 week)
I was interviewing for an email production position. I have over five years experience coding, building and deploying emails. The job looked like a perfect fit. The first step was a phone interview, which went very well. Then they asked me to come into their office where I would be meeting with two people and then take a skills test. (html). I asked the HR rep several times what the test would consist of exactly so I could be prepared. She didn't know.
When I arrived at the interview things were going very well. It seemed like a perfect fit. Then came the skills test. They asked me to replicate a jpg and code a page completely from scratch AND from memory. I had to do this on a blank notepad file. No resources, no templates - Nada. Now like I've mentioned. I have been coding emails for five years but this was ridiculous. I know html very well but I DON"T HAVE IT MEMORIZED. Anyone who could code like that would not be an email marketer, they would be building websites. To be sure I asked several colleagues if they could have done this and they all agreed they couldn't. The one colleague who could was a java script developer and he thought it was ridiculous to expect an email coder to do this.
Even still I was able to replicate the jpg somewhat but could not refine it because - well I don't have code memorized. A few days later I got an email from the hiring manager telling me that I didn't get the job because I blew the test.
Anyone they hired would either 1) be an excellent coder but have no knowledge of email marketing 2) quickly get bored because - well coding emails is just not that exciting. Sure enough a few months later the job was posted again AND i was getting phone calls from head hunters about the position.
I guess that "ace coder" that they hired didn't work out.
Aside from this - they were very nice and cordial. I just thought it was very rude to put me on the spot like that with no warning. They could have sent me the jpg in advance and said "you will have to code this from memory" then I would have been prepared.

Interviewed Mar 2008 in New York, NY (took 2 weeks)
The process at WebMD is very corporate. An HR rep will contact you and do a basic phone screening. If you pass muster, you will interview with the hiring manager. If you are being seriously considered for the job, they will request references and other materials relevant to the position.

Negotiation Details
I was able to get them to up their offer, but only by about 5%. They have little room to add in other perks like continuing education and extra vacation time, which was disappointing. But the salary was within my range, once I got them to up it.

Interviewed Sep 2009 in New York, NY (took 2 months)
This was a very positive experience though it did not result in an offer. The job was posted on LinkedIn and I was contacted within days of submitting my resume. The recruiter was great and the interviewers were clear about the job description and their criteria for the position. There were hundreds of applicants for one job -- I made it as far as five interviews.

Interviewed Jan 2010 in New York, NY (took a day)
Half hour initial call, then an in person interview with 3 people, and a skills test.
Met first with 2 other people on the tech team, that went very well, but then met with the
Director of the group, and was asked to describe I program that I'd written. I found it
very difficult to picture the program in my head or remember lines of code, and couldn't
articulate it clearly. I usually get specific technical questions, and find that much more
relevant. I was asked one technical question, but it was more of a theoretical nature and
not something you'd use everyday, so didn't do well on that either.
The skills test was good, but seemed very hastily put together, there were duplicates among
the answer selections, and the answers for some questions while correct, were something
that you'd never do in real practice, so it wasn't clear what they were really looking for.
The office was very nice, though there was a lack of meeting space, I don't know if the Director
even had an office since we had to meet in an open area. The people were extremely nice
and informal, would have been a great place to work.
