McKesson Interview Questions & Reviews

Interview Details – I was called by HR for an interview for an Insurance Processor position. During the interview, I interviewed with the Team Lead, and Supervisor. About a week later I was offered a position which was different from the position that I interviewed with. At that time the company was known as Per-Se Technologies.

Interview Details – Gave them my resume at a college career fair. After a few weeks I got an interview. It was mostly behavioral questions, no tough technical questions. They asked if I was willing to relocate, etc. I said I was willing, but would prefer not to. They made accommodations and put me at a location near my home. Eventually I got a call from them that they'd like an in person interview at a location. However, later they said they didn't have it properly scheduled, and I got a phone interview instead. Still no real technical questions. General questions about working and skills. They took several weeks to get back to me, but eventually called and said they'd send me an offer. I accepted.

Negotiation Details – They asked if I thought the pay was good, I didn't negotiate since the salary was higher than I expected and I have very little experience.

Interview Details – Two phone interviews with recruiters, two phone interviews with managers, face to face interview with manager.

Negotiation Details – None needed. They offered what I asked for.

Interview Details – Initially had an on campus interview scheduled online which led to an office tour / interview at the company. The tour was informative but long. Lunch was provided and I interviewed with the same employee I interviewed with the first time as well as one other person. They asked similar questions to the first interview's questions.

Interview Details – I was contacted by a recruiter who found my resume online. An HR talent advisor contacted me a few days later and said that I would be contacted by the hiring manager. I had a telephone interview with the hiring manager and another with a different manager. I was contacted by HR the next morning and told that they wanted to move forward with the offer. I completed an application and accepted the offer on the next business day.

Negotiation Details – There was not much negotiating. I told the recruiter what I wanted and she said that would be fine. When I spoke with HR, they said they may have to go a little lower, but the hiring manager said they could give me exactly what I asked for and that is what was on my offer.

Interview Details – >>Got contacted first over the phone by HR coordinator...gave an initial introduction to the position, what it was about, what department it related to, how much I planned to make, talked about the previous job roles and how your past experience relates to this new position, and why was it that I applied to this position.

>> 3 weeks later, Got invited for a final face to face interview in San Francisco, spoke withe 3 people...Technical Manager, Project Manager, and Implementation Analyst. Everyone was friendly and very welcoming. I interviewed in the McKesson Health Specialty office that was 5 blocks from the actual headquarters building. Interview was about 2.5 hrs, about 45 mins with each person individually...Followed up with them 1 week after final interview, and got a job offer!

Negotiation Details – very straight forward.

Interview Details – My first communication was a phone call for a phone interview. After a short conversation about myself, I was asked to come in for an interview. The first interview was an interview with two individuals in a small conference room. It was an average interview asking about my knowledge and experience. I heard back from McKesson in less than a week asking for a second interview and the second interview was a panel interview in front of several Senior Managers and then I sat down with the Director of the department.

Negotiation Details – The largest negotiation was salary. There wasn't any mention of salary until this time. We agreed on a set amount and a starting date, and I made my transition to the company.

Interview Details – 4 step process:
2 Phone interviews (Once with the recruiter and once with the hiring manager)
1 face-to-face interview with the services manager and 1 or 2 junior managers (team leads)
During which I had to complete a "skills" test
1 face-to-face interview with the division manager.

Negotiation Details – They asked me what my current salary was and when I asked about the range they were offering, they came back to what I was currently making. So, I leveraged my experience, degree, and certifications (I also looked at a couple salary surveys) and we came to some common ground.

Interview Details – Met with 6 people. This included the hiring director, two managers, two VPs and the president of the business unit. Questions were pretty standard and fair. They basically asked about previous leadership experience and my management style.

Negotiation Details – HR calls with an official offer. I counter offered and they met me in the middle. Not a lot of room to negotiate.
