Pros

Exciting technology company. Pay is probably better than average if you have time in the position.

Cons

Constant change! You can't get used to anything working for Avaya, because it'll change tomorrow. Avaya continues to reduce benefits. So far, the pension plan has been frozen, and company contributions to individual's 401k plans have been terminated. Very little opportunity for internal advancement. They continue to lay off employees, particularly in the US, leaving the rest of us to do their work. I'd have to work 24 hours a day to stay caught up, and Avaya would be happy allowing their employees to do that.

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.
