Pros

It's a job, if you need one to not be homeless, I guess that's something. There are some great people who still work here. Stockholm syndrome I guess. They'll keep making great money, so the business is stable. It's just not shared with employees.

Cons

Horrible management from the Directors on up. Senior management is interested in squeezing people as hard as humanly possible and refuse to do anything to resolve it. Completely out of touch with the market and their employees. Unrealistic deadlines (expect 70+ hour weeks to be your normal pace, there's ALWAYS another deadline). Huge loss of long term employees as they leave the company coupled with poor documentation leaves it hard to transition knowledge. Pay is poor, even before the changes in the market over the last year. Benefits are poor. 3% 401k matching. You'll see *maybe* a 4% bonus a year and 3% raise if you're lucky, but someone has to get less than 3% for someone else to get more. There's no stock or long term incentives to stay. The company made record sales and profits in 2021, like nothing the company has ever seen, no bonuses or raises were given. None. All of the positive reviews you see were bought by the company. They've offered gift cards to employees for posting positive reviews. Basically if this is your only option other than dying, I guess you should work here, otherwise, don't.

Pros

Great Management Team, therefore, solid examples for those folks who are not in management. I like the early start time. usually means we have an early quit time. This allows for employees to accomplish other activities in their lives. I like the Veteran's Day off. Reasonable goals.

Cons

My computer training, to enable me to use Biamp computer system was not good. The initial "on boarding" was less than stellar. Not sure what the career opportunities are.

Pros

Great products. Global company with a strong reputation. A leader in the AV industry. Devoted to their partners and the integrators like Biamp. Great people to work with who are experienced in the industry. Broad product line and a broad customer/reseller base.

Cons

Management style is straight out of the 80s. They manage down, not up. They need to reform the management style. Fix the culture. Micromanaging and reporting is a bit much. Employees feel undervalued with lower than average pay rates. The company is full of over qualified and underpaid people. Several people have left to work for the competition due to basic financial needs not being met and the management style. The competition pays double of what Biamp pays. They also don't have a cost of living adjustment per region.
