Pros

Avaya used to offer excellent benefits. They allowed for a good work/family life balance. Training was always readily available for all employees via online courses or books.

Cons

Continuous lay-offs since 2000. Lack of communication from senior management. Outsourcing jobs regardless of communication barriers and the amount of time it takes for internal and external customers to resolve issues.

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.
