Pros

After 8 years of downsizing, the remaining U.S. people are truly some of the best around. The U.S. technical employee pay is very good and the employees are motivated to achieve results. There is a good sharing of ideas among different organizational groups. The U.S. technical management is experienced and incented to achieve strong results.

Cons

Avaya is now rapidly shifting the technical work offshore to lower the cost of R&D. If you work in the U.S., expect to see your coworkers vanish and prepare to say goodbye yourself.

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.
