Pros

Like many companies right now, McKesson is in a very competitive situation for their medical software. The market is saturated and opportunites are coming not from sites that have never had a particular package before, but in scavanging customers away from competitors (whether outside of McKesson or competing McKesson product). McKesson is an excellent shark in the shark tank. While some people may be concerned for their jobs, we have not seen any drop in implementations, but instead it is increasing. Company is aggressive and in this market truly amazing that it is doing well.

Cons

Overall company is fantastic to work for. Good opportunities, nice benefits, etc. The only downside to this company is you learn on the run. You go out and see an install and "poof" you are now qualified to run an install. Not good for the employees - not good for customers while employees fine tune over time. In every other way this is a good company to be in.

Pros

Pay is very good. Overall culture is pretty good. Good experience to have on resume. You can learn a lot about process and discipline there, and it will make you a stronger, more knowledgeable worker. Training is excellent, and they cross-train on multiple products.

Cons

Very political. Tough to get promoted, and there is no clear path to advancement. Frequent organizational changes. Frequent layoffs. Intimidating management style across the board. CEO is the 13th highest paid in the U.S. while stock is flat and layoffs are frequent. Benefits are average for such a large company.
