Avaya reviews

Upper/middle management treats employees as if they are lucky to work there. There is no respect for employees' talents and dedication. Many (but not all) lower and middle managers simply toe the company line.

Avaya is attempting to transition from a first generation technology company (a hardware maker) to a 3rd generation company (software as a service). Based on what I've seen, this transition will not be successful. Avaya has a long history of buying small technology companies and integrating their products (with more or less success) rather than building things in-house. For software development in the US, Avaya is a losing proposition. Development (and some other activities, like technical writing) are being moved offshore. The strong culture of work-at-home or remote work makes networking with coworkers and working collaboratively very hard.
