Got recruiters hitting on me for McKesson’s M&A corp dev position as a manager. I just got senior in October. Is this worth it or not?

McKesson is the worst company I’ve ever worked for as an employee, and they were far worse to work for as an employee than my worst, most hellacious client as a consultant.

Thanks. What made it so bad?

I know there is politics everywhere, if u like that kinda S,?$t then go...

Well, I’ll start off by saying the management is shit.
They are hyper-focused on their pharma-distribution, and will forgo collecting on their IT services contracts so they don’t upset the Apple cart at customers with huge pharma contracts, even though with the razor thin margins on the pharma contracts, they’d be making more on the bottom line by collecting on the high-margin IT services contracts.
They also got in the shit due to the opioid debacle (look it up).
The culture is terrible, and they are famous for grinding people out, and for layoffs (they grow mainly through acquisition these days).
Oh, and a colleague of mine while I was an employee there committed suicide. Jumped from the 5th floor balcony in the lobby atrium.

I had a offer at McKesson and heard some of the same things mentioned. Maybe dodged a bullet

I am starting a 4-months internship at a company B in January. However, I just heard from a company T that they will interview me for their full time position.

Company T is paying me way more (twice) than Company B. And I like company T more. However, they want me to start working in February if I get this position. If I end up getting the offer, I will have to quit my internship at Company B, almost immediately after I begin the internship.

Is this okay?
