Pros

Working for the clinical software division of McKesson (the Horizon Clinicals division of the McKesson Provider Technologies business unit) means that I directly help doctors and nurses do their jobs faster, better, and more safely. The products that my division makes really do save lives every day and positively impacts patient care.

Cons

As with many other software companies, sometimes the life/work balance can become a bit askew. The current management does a nice job of recognizing this issue, but other regimes have been less responsive. Also working for a huge company means that there are often monolithic barriers to get over to implement enterprise solutions.

Pros

Decent vacation if you are there long enough, good starting point, someone else will up pay somewhere else when they know your from there.

Cons

Pay inequity, no sick days micromanaged at lower levels. chronically understaffed because good people keep leaving and sub par workers stay forever. They can not find anyone to take the job or will not replace them because they will not pay enough or promote from within.

Pros

It's a great atmosphere full of great people to work with. People there have fun and get great things done at the same time. It's fun when it can be and serious when it needs to be, which provided for a great work environment that you never minded coming into.

Cons

The pay was well below industry standards and the raises didn't get it anywhere very fast. The bonus and ESPP plans were a nice touch but the base salary left a lot to be desired and caused a lot of people to leave the company.
