Pros

Avaya does have good pay and benefits. They also have good educational benefits. The work is challenging, if you are into the technical work.

Cons

Avaya is eating itself from the inside out. They have owners and management that does not have a clue about a telecommunications business. They have cut their customer facing workforce in the USA to the bare minimum. Pressure is unbelievable. Now they have squished everyone to one floor.

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.
