Pros
1. Interesting projects which often require creative solutions 2. Willingness to spend on technology in some areas 3. Easy to transfer to another department if talented 4. Some telecommuting allowed 5. Better than average benefits
Cons
1. Very noisy. It's a cubicle environment with not nearly enough conference rooms. 2. Lower than average salaries. 3. Quantity matters more than quality. Although upper management claims to want us to do less but at a higher quality, this is not what my 15-person team is experiencing. Everyone is working on multiple projects with almost no time allocated for design due to my next point. 4. The blind use of Agile methodologies for almost all projects. The results is way, way too many database tables which don't play well with each other. I have never experienced such (needlessly) complex data before joining McKesson. 5. Poor project management.
