Pros

1) Exposure to health systems of all sizes and business types (not for profit, for profit, multi-site, standalone, etc). 2) Senior executives are approachable and have the interests of McKesson's clients as a top priority 3) Collaborative work environment that allows personnel from different business units to approach one another for assistance as needed 4) Excellent on-line product tutorials for employees who are willing to put time and effort into learning about products.

Cons

1) Mid-level resource managers require more training and mentoring 2) Little opportunity to recoup time lost to work-life imbalance (manager dependent) 3) Technical support for employees facing computer problems is abysmal and has not improved despite management perception that it is good.

Pros

1. relatively aloof culture for ICs to grow on their own 2. on and off few people are good 3. Actually consultants in india are better than some full time hires to work with. The h1bs in full time roles and some GCs/Americans are just 1 step away from unemployment line but there are some good quality consultants who can be directed well to bring in good work. Problem is lack of direction when middle management is just running after money.

Cons

1. top most management is clueless to what is going post the middle tier 2. middle tiers - VPs/SVPs/Directors and Sr. Directors are among the worst. Mostly cast offs from Consulting firms/Tech cos/Other Healthcare firms, this group has some of the worst, clueless folks who just think very narrowly about how to get rid of problems, maybe craft a story for higher ups. Get rid of this layer ( so called people management ) and co. could shine better on the work of ICs, decent software engineers and regular rank and file. 3. Main money maker distribution is different from tech group and the IT here is almost comical - 2 years ago in 2024 there were "directors" bringing AI agents with 90% hallucination .. I mean that has got to be an industry first!
