Strategic sourcing manager

Recommend

Business Outlook

Pros

Decent pay & benefits

Cons

Zero accountability for upper management be it for unprofessional behavior or failed results. Lack of direction from leadership. Due to the amount of reorganization & lay offs management & employees understand knowledge is power and will not share information or train new employees, creating great opportunities for suppliers & bad results for GE. Culture is broken, leadership talks about change & being open to change, but much stays the same at the top layers. The only changes that occur are in lower middle to low management staff. Layoffs occur monthly, constant staff changes makes it impossible to knowledge transfer or create a strategic plan to implement & execute so all work is transactional at best.

Pros

Leadership development if you are selected which is very few. This can backfire though because the people who remain at the company too long become insular in their thinking.

Cons

Stuck in an old era and unable to modernize HR practices. Culture is lost and and management is too worried about protecting themselves.

Pros

Typical corporate benefits. Discretionary PTO.

Cons

Software development practices stuck in the 1980s: poor source code control discipline, lax code reviews, not using supportive tools (like Review board for code reviews), no automated integration between planning, reviewing, and storing code.
