Pros

Great salary, good benefits, good work. Avaya makes great products and is the market leader in many of them.

Cons

Ever since the company has gone private, financial information is not available for review, but that is typical. With the decline in the economy, Avaya sales have been impacted and many engineers and middle manager have lost their jobs. Many of them had 20-30 years of experience, the same people who made Avaya a market leader. Employees on the east coast of the US have been hit the hardest by the downsizing. This environment is causing many to leave on their own or are considering it. Avaya's future is very cloudy.

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.
