Working at McKesson in San Francisco, CA: 17 Employee Job Reviews by Real Employee working in San Francisco, CA Area

"The company has a long history, and a bright future ahead, stable growth, amidst strong competition."

"Well regarded, globally strategic organization that lives up to the important global role within the pharmaceutical industry and healthcare IT."

"I've worked at McKesson Corporation for over 17 years. I would have stayed with McKesson. However, the company is relocating its headquarters to Texas, and although given the opportunity to make a move, I have decided to remain in the Bay Area. McKesson is a great company, and their culture is about the employees having a work-life balance."

"Well as a consultant you are treated like an outsider. I was astonished; after sticking it out in here to see this project to term with a successful program and Autonomy deployment under budget with only a 3% variation on requirements. While I witnessed many employees come and go on the project. Dedication and success had little meaning to McKesson making no attempt to offer any assistance or recognition as a former consultant that they did nothing and refused to be of any assistance."

"McKesson is a very successful company but is stuck in the 20th century when it comes to marketing. Very hierarchical and conservative with not a lot of folks who have a strong marketing skill set. Lots of cubicles. Can't wear jeans. Mostly older, white men in charge. I wouldn't choose to work there full time."
