Pros

Unfortunately, the only pro is the frequent flier miles and hotel reward points accumulated due to the constant travel (eventually, the cons negate this pro)

Cons

- High turnover due to hiring experienced/overqualified people in an entry-level role that they disguise with a Senior Auditor title. Senior Auditors in other organizations are responsible for supervising and planning audits, reviewing workpapers, report writing, and presenting findings to senior management/leadership. Senior Auditors at McKesson only perform test work and document work papers. "Managers" at McKesson perform the role of Senior Auditors at other organizations. This is where the disconnect occurs because the Managers at McKesson are "trained" to "coach & mentor" the Senior Auditors (I guess it's assumed that they are unskilled when it comes to audits). Senior Auditors are talked to and treated as if they have never audited before. This leaves a bad taste in new hires' mouths, considering they came from environments where they performed the roles of the "Manager" title at McKesson. - An event that occurs twice a year called "All Hands". I believe the goal of All Hands to function as a team building event. Unfortunately, the week of All Hands feels like 4 days of prison. You are required to participate in all events starting at 8am until around 10pm. I don't even spend that much time with my family, so why would I want to spend that much time with coworkers, in which, many of us have nothing in common other than our job. I would like to note that I am not the only person that feels this way about All Hands, pretty much everyone in the department feels this way, but no one speaks up in the department. That leads me to the next con... - The department is full of "yes men". The few, including myself, that decide to speak up will ultimately be looked at as the black sheep in the department. - I could go on and on with cons, but I won't. Just one last note to show how dysfunctional this department is, within the first few days/weeks of coming into the department people stated that they knew they made a big mistake accepting the job offer. I think that says a lot considering it takes most people months before they realize they've made a bad decision accepting a job offer.

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!
