One of the biggest providers for one of the biggest fields

Business Outlook

Pros

In medical technology, your average developer is going to have a lot of very crunchy and interesting problems to solve that are way outside of the eyeball metrics of many consumer fields. It's also a great place to get away from the rockstars, ninjas, and cowboys that densely populate the startup world. McKesson is also constantly evolving, so the cons listed below are more of a snapshot of today's issues. They're not as much of an issue as they were even a few years ago.

Cons

They're still evolving their policy on open source software. If FOSS is a big deal for you, that can be a con. There are also minor predictable issues working at an extremely large company in a field that is highly sensitive to privacy and security issues: many forms to fill out, and many regulations to familiarize yourself with.

Business Outlook

Pros

Very stable and well funded industry where the margins are not big. However, healthcare is not going anywhere, it weathers the financial economy downturn very well.

Cons

The flip side is there isn't much growth or innovative growth is difficult due to many many regulations.
