Pros

Salary compensation is probably above average. Benefits are pretty good. The engineers (who are left) are great people to work with -- talented, dedicated, smart.

Cons

Jobs continue to move offshore (mainly India). Avaya doesn't hire college graduates anymore (hasn't for some time). Internally, there is a lack of communication about which products will continue to be developed (and how) and which will not. Sales data about products is not openly shared, so you have no idea if the product you helped develop for the past year is impacting the market or not.

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.
