Pros

Had a great team some while back and working from home is essential , otherwise you limit the pool of workers into a city. Good remote working set up

Cons

where do you start . Poor management - most have little skills only used to feathering their own cap - some survive purely on the basis that when others leave they are still there. anyone who has been tthere more than 10 years is institutionalised and worked when telecomms was all about so much business coming through the door no one really had to work hard. As a result you have a clique of people who protected each other, but even that's declining as no one wants another Nortel . Interesting all the posts on proud to be Avaya , really ? instructions from on high and Breeze and Ocean new names for same stuff , just re branded as something to say to the market - still same old delayed product development . It never really got back after letting the ex Nortel product team build smoke and mirrors around the AAAC product. Losing partners and customers and staff - why would you want to work for them now as an impending debt which wouldn't be able to be serviced . New sales people if you can sell something , they will find loads of reasons not to pay you !

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.
