Avaya has lost its way...

Pros

800 pound gorilla in the UC market but this can't be maintained for long given its current course..

Cons

No company vision. No customer focus. A lot of lip service by middle and top management. The Nortel data portfolio is relegated to a minor focus within the company. Avaya does not have a clue about the channel and what it takes to keep them motivated. Bureaucratic internal processes make customer focus impossible. Many employees feeling dissatisfied and disillusioned due to all of the above.

Pros

Core products which are innovative, reliable, and best in breed. Highly skilled and loyal employees who want to make the customer happy. Flexibility to work Virtual Office. Culture which fosters team work and where you have access to industry experts.

Cons

Lack of relevant product and technology training. Questionable career advancement opportunity. Poor internal communication. Senior Management doesn't understand what individual contributors actually do. Managers so focued on revenue targets that they don't have time to actually manage their employees. Forced job sharing with low cost off-shore locations creating unnecessary hand-offs and increasing the risk of quality assurance issues.
