Pros

- Team is the best I've ever had - The work/life balance is terrific depending on your management - Great place to earn your stripes, learn a lot, and build your resume

Cons

- Removed our Employee Stock Purchase Program - Removed our 401k matching - Increased our health insurance rates - Pay is dismal if you're trying to support a family - CEO claims that we will get our benefits back in 2027; meanwhile he makes $16M/yr

Pros

Super flexible work - 100% remote at this point Not micromanaged

Cons

Company and revolving leadership are all obsessed with cost-cutting Transition to Cloud and Subscription models are not successful Old-school (1980s) mentality about work Company culture is toxic and most employees are ready to retire Not agile in the least No innovation - always playing catch up to competitors Steady salary but almost no bonuses and no promotions over the last 8 years I've been there No training, no support - you're on your own to just "figure it out" Other employee personalities are a major obstacle - pessimism about change abounds

Pros

-Stock purchase program, contribution matching -Continued education within the company, if you have time. -Employee Resource Groups (see below as well) -Bonus is ok, if certain conditions are met, but that is completely out of the employees control, -Flexible Work Arrangement, this is a benefit. -There are good people working here, that do believe in more,

Cons

-Executive/Director level turnover, -Executive/Director do not really care about middle level and lower -Managers hands are tied as to how to help employees, help that is provided, can have both employees terminated -Workload is sky high, teams are significantly under staffed -Work/Life balance is awful, they preach Avaya is the people. -Little to no career advancement, even for High Relative Contributor, -No Pay raise, even with great evaluations, (there was a 1%, the only one over the past 5 years.) -Outdated procedures and formats add work, -Uneven pay for the same job. A member hired now, will make significantly more than someone that has been working there for over a decade, in the same role(See pay raises). -The pay is definitely not good, about 60% of current market wages -Layoffs, even in a good market time are always lingering over your head. -Long process to move to a new product, or position -Positions magically disappear on the career page -Employee Resource Groups- unsure as to what benefit they provide or do.
