Avaya reviews

where do you start . Poor management - most have little skills only used to feathering their own cap - some survive purely on the basis that when others leave they are still there. anyone who has been tthere more than 10 years is institutionalised and worked when telecomms was all about so much business coming through the door no one really had to work hard. As a result you have a clique of people who protected each other, but even that's declining as no one wants another Nortel . Interesting all the posts on proud to be Avaya , really ? instructions from on high and Breeze and Ocean new names for same stuff , just re branded as something to say to the market - still same old delayed product development . It never really got back after letting the ex Nortel product team build smoke and mirrors around the AAAC product. Losing partners and customers and staff - why would you want to work for them now as an impending debt which wouldn't be able to be serviced . New sales people if you can sell something , they will find loads of reasons not to pay you !

- Some managers attempt to manage with fear, intimidation, and demeaning younger employees. They simply don't know how to be managers. It's quite sad that they can be put in positions of management. And good employees will leave because of it. - With the layoffs and voluntary leave packages, morale is below rock bottom. Company culture was nonexistent in the first place. - Unfair compensation to the sales teams who bring in revenue and know what they're doing. - Many employees completely lack accountability to the point of disbelief- some Account Managers shouldn't be allowed to flip burgers, yet somehow they've managed to stay here for years. These Account Managers literally don't even know what we sell. I'm not talking about being extremely technical here - I literally mean they don't know what type of products and services we sell. - Some young talent brought in don't work - literally. They are never at their desk or doing work, just on vacations collecting paychecks. I've called a coworker at 1pm on a Wednesday and could hear that he was in some sort of bar at the time. Unreal. I ended up doing his work for him. - I've been told directly by some of the most powerful people in the company that TPG/Silverlake are eating up profits big time and are waiting to determine who they will sell the business too. All while Executives mercilessly cut headcount and stretch employees far beyond what is ethical. - Frustrating internal processes that have no reason to be so difficult
