Pros

The paycheck is the only reason to work at Avaya. There are some good people, but senior management isn't included in this list. The 401k matching program is good and the number of days vacation is better than most. They also allow virtual office when they are not complaining about folks not filling office space.

Cons

Off shore everything to India. Trade experience for inexpensive. Not interested in US employees. Not enough funding for tools. Manage folks remotely, but never allowed to travel to meet them. Proactive efforts are not rewarded. Everyone is a veto, but not one person can approve. Justify yourself at all times ore they will get rid of you.

Pros

The company used to care about customers, but they removed all the sales people who actually visited and consulted with customers to save travel cost.

Cons

The company's newest CEO, Patrick, only cares about getting back to a Cybersecurity company as fast as possible. Can't sell the company fast enough, but buyers can't get past due diligence periods.
