Pros

Good benefits, unlimited PTO, WFH

Cons

I was with Avaya for many years, and once I left, I finally realized what a healthy company culture SHOULD look like. Working at Avaya is like having an abusive boyfriend - you know you should leave, they keep promising to change, and then they beat you up again. Senior leadership is extremely unpredictable, changes strategy at the drop of a hat, and then blames employees and lays a bunch of people off when their decisions have led them into bankruptcy...twice.

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.
