Pros

The company is truly committed to providing superior patient care and customer service. The management team did a great job finding people who shared in this vision, and the common goal helped bridge some gaps between both colleagues and entire departments.

Cons

Unfortunately corporate set fiscal goals were never met by the McKesson Specialty Health subsidiary during my period of employment. Already understaffed, management decided to lay off two-five individuals in each department; we were left to tackle to workload of the former employees without guidance or acknowledgement of the situation. In addition, my colleagues and I had to carry the responsibilities of those who had been let go in other departments. Training never exceeded one afternoon. The company culture can be compared easily to a stereotypical sorority house. Female employees far exceed the number of male employees, and the gossip, emotion, and outright disrespectful behavior dominated each day.

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!
