Pros

Stable technology company. Slowly laying out strategy its going to take some time. If there is a ip telephony boom avaya is geared for it. the recent layoffs and bottleneck identification is good for the company. offshoring is good for business.

Cons

Plenty. Attitude - save my rear attitude. some blame game. strategy is not clearly defined. buyouts caused adverse effect on job security and motivation of employees. the layoffs did not help. outsourcing did not help. processes are monilithic and multiple gates and mouths to sign off on simple stuff.

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.
