Pros

I can't think of any now... going private has resulted in many lay offs and it's difficult to see what the long term strategy really is. However, in R&D I have found management to be very supportive of work-life balance. There are many tele-commuters and people work very flexible hours.

Cons

Pros

A Bell Labs history with zeal to tame disruptive technologies for our customers creates a great work environment. As an engineer the opportunity to work on leading edge technology truly tests ones skills. Using these skills with teammates located across the globe presents a challenging development environment.

Cons

Business politics and ego centric leadership stifle opportunities. Lack of investment on infrastructure, tools, and training make it difficult to meet aggressive schedules. Recent mid level management new hires lack experience. This has created confusion in chain of command and management decisions.

Pros

Lot of technologies, big company making a lot of telephony & call center products, personally had a fun job.

Cons

Lot's of layoffs which severely demoralized staff. Sucky marketing!! Nobody has heard of Avaya, even if they use their phones which they use day in/out. Poor globalization partners. Older culture lacking ambition or much vision. Given this, a younger player might easily capsize the business with the right new technology.
