Pros

As a engineer, don't work there if you haven't join it.

Cons

Avaya is full of "old" engineers (working there over 15, 20, or event 30 years). They never ever want any change, refuse to accept any new stuff, They know nothing except some very specific stuff only used inside the company. They are just mediocre engineers but think themselves as great Bell Lab scientists. I was laid off by Avaya in my second year long time ago, when I look back now, I feel I am so lucky to be laid off and didn't become one of those old Avayaers.

Pros

The company used to care about customers, but they removed all the sales people who actually visited and consulted with customers to save travel cost.

Cons

The company's newest CEO, Patrick, only cares about getting back to a Cybersecurity company as fast as possible. Can't sell the company fast enough, but buyers can't get past due diligence periods.
