Engine Out Procedure with IAS restriction in the 3rd Segment

The company that I work for has a number of engine out procedures that require that have airspeed restrictions during clean up in the 3rd segment. To do this the flight mode has to change from take-off to speed select and level change resulting in the aircraft climbing above the engine out acceleration altitude until the point where the speed restriction no longer applies and then accelerating again to finish the clean up.
I believe that this procedure is unacceptable and have expressed my concern but no action is being taken.
From my experience in this area I maintain that the design of an engine out procedure must ensure that the 3rd segment can be flown as a level segment with no interruption to the level acceleration until the aircraft is clean.
