How difficult is it to maintain a social life while in your job at McKesson?
Impossible
Married four times since being employed by McK.
What's the IT team like at McKesson?
Management is the worst
Couple of years ago it was a classic bad enterprise IT shop where it was one-size-fits-all, bloated, not customer focused, and in the way of everything technologists were trying to do. But the entire leadership has been changed over the past 18 months and while not perfect, it is a different place. Great collaboration with internal customers, agile is taking hold, lot of really good people. Still work to be done, but it is finally becoming a modern IT org and the "old" thinkers aren't around anymore.
