Pros

Employees at Avaya are fantastic, friendly, resilient and dedicated. Many opportunities to grow career due to layoffs and not replacing staff. Some pockets have fantastic leadership.

Cons

Executive leadership is focused more on cost containment than truly growing hence layoffs after layoffs. Additionally, promotion of leadership is questionable at times, especially the leadership out of Dubai.

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.
