Belden reviews

Belden likes to acquire companies and situation is different for the hub employees and the acquired entities . For the latter it sucks, for the lack of a better word. If you were recently acquired-run away, nothing good is going to happen to you. Belden is preoccupied with share price, matrices, indexes, revenue numbers and such. What Belden does not care about is employees ( unfortunately). Usually they do not bother to understand the business they buy, and place unqualified employees of their own with no relevant experience to run (more like ruin) it. Targets are unrealistic, pressure for numbers is enormous, customer needs ( both internal and external) are often neglected , As a result –lay-offs,stress,no merit increases,frustration,disappointment.

Uncommunicative, out of touch managers. No real idea of what is happening at street level. Underhanded corporate minions that spread untruths. Growth by acquisition, with little internal product development or integration strategy. A whiff of corporate induced layoff fears for acquired companies. Truly a dark place to work, every bad element of big company culture lives here. Talk to people on the inside before spending anytime working here or for any of the acquisiion companies.
