I seriously question the wisdom of upper management on many decisions.

Distinguished member of technical staff

Business Outlook

Pros

Salary compensation is probably above average. Benefits are pretty good. The engineers (who are left) are great people to work with -- talented, dedicated, smart.

Cons

Jobs continue to move offshore (mainly India). Avaya doesn't hire college graduates anymore (hasn't for some time). Internally, there is a lack of communication about which products will continue to be developed (and how) and which will not. Sales data about products is not openly shared, so you have no idea if the product you helped develop for the past year is impacting the market or not.

Pros

The salary they dish out @pune..uh..actually...the salary they "used to" dish out.

Cons

Venture in only if you can stomach the politics. Senior technical staff usually comprises of ppl good at conflict resolution & collaborating with other initiatives..and less of people who like to "create' software. Managers - project managers & technical managers both - would find it hard to make a decent impression in any other product company. Most benefits on offer currently suck.

unclear strategy, growth is a question mark and lot of bureaucracy

Business Outlook

Pros

Stable technology company. Slowly laying out strategy its going to take some time. If there is a ip telephony boom avaya is geared for it. the recent layoffs and bottleneck identification is good for the company. offshoring is good for business.

Cons

Plenty. Attitude - save my rear attitude. some blame game. strategy is not clearly defined. buyouts caused adverse effect on job security and motivation of employees. the layoffs did not help. outsourcing did not help. processes are monilithic and multiple gates and mouths to sign off on simple stuff.
