Not bad but not great

Senior software engineer

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Solid pay, good people, help people get medications.

Cons

Heading towards waterfall practices, poor leadership at the top that makes blanket changes without taking feedback from those that will be affected. Very political at times that values "inclusion" but only from those of one side.

McKesson Response

Thank you for your candid feedback. How we work is just as important as the work we do. Hearing feedback from new and different points of view helps us take steps in a positive direction.
