Pros

Work Life Balance. Most teams are very flexible with start/end time, working from home, workload, etc. This is by far the best part of McKesson, for the most part you won’t be overly worked or stressed. In general, people are nice and get along well with each other. People are open to get things done together as a team.

Cons

Salary and Benefits are way below par. They don’t seek to ensure everyone is paid fairly across the board so you have people at all different ends of the salary band. This definitely does not bode well for minorities groups who will need companies to take a better look at salaries and ensure they aren’t contributing to the pay gaps. Upward Mobility is near non-existent unless you are in Strategy. People have been in the same position for 10+ years. You will definitely need to leave your team or company as a whole to get a promotion. Also, make sure you align yourself with a leader who is trying to make upward moves if you are seeking promotions. Diversity and Inclusion is so far behind the times. Lots of talk, no action behind it.

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!
