Interviewed Apr 2012 in Wheeling, IL (took a day)
When I appied this position, they didn't offer sponsorship for F1 students. During the phone interview, I was not asked professional questions. Most questions were based on my resume. Recruiter asked me talked about my work experience and what my duties were. They didn't sponsor H1B VISA, in that time but recruiter said she would put me in waiting list. They may offer later. I don't know if she put me in the list or just euphemise.

Interviewed Nov 2011 (took 3 weeks)
Process began with recruiter phone interview of about 1 hour. Asked pretty standard questions relating to experience.
Then interviewed with the manager who I would be working for by phone- this interview lasted a couple of hours and was a mix of behavioral questions--tell me about a time when you... Also asked reasons behind why I wanted to work for McKesson. One of the things I think he appreciated was that I mentioned the long history of the company and would like to be a part of its continuing success into the next century.
Made it to round three which consisted of the hiring manager sending me some files about one of their products and then asking me to put together a 15 minute training presentation--notes and PowerPoint to present at the final interview. I had 24 hours to put this together with an additional requirement- that I also do a training presentation on a subject matter of my choice.
At final interview, face to face, I had to do a training session on the two items above and then answer another slew of off the cuff situational questions using the incident, problem, solution format. Total time for this interview was about 3 hours.
I then received an email from recruiting the next day telling me thanks but no thanks. In retrospect, I should have kept the situational responses more to the point but I am a trainer and am used to talking at length.

Interviewed Apr 2011 (took 2 weeks)
The process consisted of a technical phone screen followed by an on site interview. The technical phone screen covered Java, J2EE, JDBC, and Relational Database concepts and implementation issues. This initial session lasted about one hour. The next step in the process, an on site interview, occurred the following week. The face to face interview consisted of a session with two developers with the project manager present. The developers asked additional technical questions, while the project manager asked higher level behavioral questions to asses my soft skills. I came away with a positive overall impression of the company and its work environment, at least as far as the IT department goes.
Interview Questions
Reason for Declining
I am looking for more "cutting edge" development work than this firm currently offers, especially since I am currently employed and can afford to be selective.
Other Details
The interview consisted of a Phone Interview and a Group/Panel Interview.

Interviewed Dec 2010 in Alpharetta, GA (took 4 weeks)
First interview was with hiring manager 1 on 1 and then met with other team members. It went very well, comfortable and somewhat informal. I was able to see the work environment and it was a cluster of cubes with low walls. Relaxed business casual dress. Hiring manager thoroughly explained the job and the positions customers.
Second interview was with a stake holder of the hiring manager's dept deliverables. Barely a dotted line relationship. This guy was 15 minutes late and when he did arrive he gave me the top to bottom to top check out. Yes, you know the one. He spent the first 30 minutes of the interview informing me of his greatness and the last 10 minutes of the interview telling me he wasn't going to be with the company much longer if he could help it.
HR took weeks to get back to me on the job. I was told repeatedly that I was the top candidate and expected to get an offer. The day before Christmas, 4 weeks after the 2nd interview, HR left me a voice mail saying they extended an offer to someone else. At least I finally had an answer.

Interviewed May 2011 in Springfield, MO (took 2 weeks)
I worked with a phone recruiter first, and he kept me very up-to-date with what was going on with my recruiting. At each step he e-mailed me in advance to let me know what to expect. I was not selected for the first position I applied for, but I have already applied for another position.

Interviewed May 2011 in Livonia, MI (took 2 weeks)
Multiple phone interviews, asked to provide work samples and the next stage would have required 3 separate presentations. Interview process too long and drawn out for low paying high travel job.

Interviewed Nov 2008 in Alpharetta, GA (took 4+ weeks)
Fairly simple. They look for sales AND industry experience...otherwise you're kind of out of luck. They look for people who have been VERY successful in the past. If you have a clinical background it is a plus but they will take just successful too. They are open about hiring people who have worked for the competition (Cerner, Eclipsys, Epic, etc.) but only if you have a proven track record. The east coast office is very formal. Aim to be the best dressed person in the room. They are a charismatic bunch but don't be afraid to ask them how you're doing and what their perception is of you and what your chances are. Also, in the words of an SRVP they "Don't do Friends and Family." Come on your own and be great and you're in.

Interviewed Mar 2010 in Alpharetta, GA (took 3 weeks)
I went to a recruiting dinner, which was informal and informative. The initial interview was a few standard behavioral questions. I got a call saying I made it to the next round a week or so later. That consisted of a 5 minute presentation, 5 minute sales call, and a 30 minute 1 on 1 with the director. They call that their "first round." It's pretty nerve wrecking, but it turned out to be pretty low stress. Everyone was really nice. The final round came a couple of weeks later, and that was only a 30 minute phone interview. I don't quite understand the logic of that, but oh well.
