I've been with Belden just over a year & it has been a good place to work!
Pros
-The most recent change moving Roel Vestjens into the President & CEO role was the best move Belden could have made. -In response to the COVID-19 environment, most companies went into furlough and layoff mode to save money; however, at Belden, the President/CEO & the Board of Directors took a significant cut in pay through December 2020 & the Senior Leadership team also took a significant cut in pay through December 2020. This move by the Board & Senior Leadership team was very impressive, in my opinion. While there have been SG&A cuts, those cuts were initiated before the COVID-19 crisis. -Belden also seems to be trying to obtain the right talent to continue to grow and become the best in what we do!
Cons
-The systems are very outdated and difficult to obtain data but there are contacts there that can help you maneuver through the systems to get what you need. -Before the new CEO stepped in, change seemed to happen at a much slower pace than I think it should have. People need to be held accountable and need to know that if they don't meet expectations, they will be replaced. I am excited to have the new CEO in place and look forward to how he will address these opportunities. Having met him, I think he will move on these needs much more quickly.
