      If you aren't already working here, its not a place to join

      CEO approval

      Pros

      It is only a good place to work to wait out retirement. In general, it is not a good place for someone that is not already indoctrinated. It is disappointing, since the Avaya products are truly best in class. Going private was supposed to be a benefit, but that has not yet been the case. There is some flexibility in work modes, such as telecommuting, but that is disappearing as the desire for greater control of resources comes into play.

      Cons

      Drastic change without thought to consequences. Outsourcing to India of key intellectual property. Senior management positions rarely get filled from the inside. Benefits get cut every year. Pension plan was frozen years ago, so it virtually worthless.

      Great place to work if you are not afraid of change

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Great culture and environment. Seems that everyone is committed to the success of individuals and the business across teams, with a supportive environment. Provides ability to move to other points in the business or receive promotions into any area of the company. Overall employees seem positive and optimistic. Fast paced, with more than ample recognition and reward for efforts. Clearly defined goals and objectives provide employees with a high level of ability to make and act on independent decisions.

      Cons

      Turbulence in the industry and economy make this a challenging place to work. Uncertainty with the future affects morale to a degree.

      Avaya is NOT an employer of choice

      Technical manager

      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Right now (but possibly disappearing) - is the opportunity to work from home.

      Cons

      Senior management seems to be in the dark ages. Removing VO. LOTS of jobs moving to Pune despite lowering quality and speed. They talk about customer service - nothing appears. Performance reviews are completely bogus. We're on our 3rd layoff in 1 year and heavy potential for more. They jerk people around.
