Avaya reviews

Constant change! You can't get used to anything working for Avaya, because it'll change tomorrow. Avaya continues to reduce benefits. So far, the pension plan has been frozen, and company contributions to individual's 401k plans have been terminated. Very little opportunity for internal advancement. They continue to lay off employees, particularly in the US, leaving the rest of us to do their work. I'd have to work 24 hours a day to stay caught up, and Avaya would be happy allowing their employees to do that.

Change is hard ... with the legacy of being part of the old Bell System monopoly, there is a lot of resistance. These economic times are challenging and Avaya is no different from any of the thousands of other places that are cutting staff. Working at Avaya means that you are going to have to pull through some tough times. Like many other companies, there are mixed messages as things change that can be confusing and demotivating. There are still plenty of people in the middle management layers that don't get it and I expect to see the changes in management continue. This company is in-flux as it moves from a mind set of bean counting to a mind set of aggressively taking market.
