Pros

McKesson is a very large company and is generally very stable with benefits and compensation that are near market rate. They delivering EHR systems to our customers which help provide healthcare for patients.

Cons

McKesson is but it is organized in silos and it is often very difficult to work with other teams. Their technology stack is rather dated (e.g. Oracle 10g -- with no plans to upgrade!) and they are very averse to innovation or enhancements to products. They are often more deadline driven in their release process rather than results of feature driven.

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!
