Business outlook
Pros
It is only a good place to work to wait out retirement. In general, it is not a good place for someone that is not already indoctrinated. It is disappointing, since the Avaya products are truly best in class. Going private was supposed to be a benefit, but that has not yet been the case. There is some flexibility in work modes, such as telecommuting, but that is disappearing as the desire for greater control of resources comes into play.
Cons
Drastic change without thought to consequences. Outsourcing to India of key intellectual property. Senior management positions rarely get filled from the inside. Benefits get cut every year. Pension plan was frozen years ago, so it virtually worthless.
