Pros

Provides excellent healthcare market experience.

Cons

All-consuming. McKesson does not recognize need for work/life balance; therefore prefers younger workers that have the drive and dedication to work 24/7. Takes products to market too soon to fend off competition. Employees feel no job security as major reorganizations occur at minimum each fiscal year start, but often 2 or 3 times each fiscal year. McKesson's senior management lacks continuity from frequent reorganizations. Being completely driven by Wall Street, there's a culture of "shoot first" by reorganizing and terminating when forecast isn't met rather than invest in products and employees for long term growth.

Pros

1. relatively aloof culture for ICs to grow on their own 2. on and off few people are good 3. Actually consultants in india are better than some full time hires to work with. The h1bs in full time roles and some GCs/Americans are just 1 step away from unemployment line but there are some good quality consultants who can be directed well to bring in good work. Problem is lack of direction when middle management is just running after money.

Cons

1. top most management is clueless to what is going post the middle tier 2. middle tiers - VPs/SVPs/Directors and Sr. Directors are among the worst. Mostly cast offs from Consulting firms/Tech cos/Other Healthcare firms, this group has some of the worst, clueless folks who just think very narrowly about how to get rid of problems, maybe craft a story for higher ups. Get rid of this layer ( so called people management ) and co. could shine better on the work of ICs, decent software engineers and regular rank and file. 3. Main money maker distribution is different from tech group and the IT here is almost comical - 2 years ago in 2024 there were "directors" bringing AI agents with 90% hallucination .. I mean that has got to be an industry first!
