Good option if you are looking for a safe position and not too much responsibility - Strategic Sourcer BuyIn Employee Review

Limited or no decision power (up to middle management) - any decision is political, not economical. VERY limited career opportunities (imagine the company consists almost only of startegic sourcers). The only development opportunity for few hundred people is to become a team leader or manager - the amount of such vacancies is very limited though and usually already "reserved". Depending on the team/category: employees skills do not match the tasks and scope of responsibilities (over-qualified experts perform administrative tasks with no decision-power; low and no-performers keep their jobs because, causing cost to the company) Middle and higher management driven by career, corporate politics and their ego (call ma naive when I tell I believe this should be different...) - decisions are made to fit the preferences of the manager above rather than being aligned with a realistic business case or well-done research No official home office rule - in practice possible as exception but normally requires an approval Long working hours taken as standard
