Pros

The individual employees are smart and hard working. They seem very open to people working from home or remotely. There's a pretty good work/life balance.

Cons

Too much uncertainty. As revenue keeps dropping, Avaya keeps making cuts. Too bad there isn't much strategic thinking going on about exactly how and where to make the cuts. Lots of management churn and reorgs. Processes are too heavy to allow for agile responses to the market.

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.
