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.

Pros

Own inventions Growing business in Ip telephony and application to support it Good salary

Cons

was bought by TPG & Silverlak - a public equity firm. Even that they are known for their commitment to make a business grow they where reducing some 15% of workforce after the first 9 months of ownership. It's important to realize that Avaya was still making xxx million profit after taxes. Thus - biggest downside is that the company is currently going through a restructuring process.
