Pros

There is still an excellent learning curve. Just don't plan on being there for the long term.

Cons

The innovation isn't there anymore. There is no excitement concerning new products simply because there aren't any. The company no longer manufactures anything so what is manufactured suffers from poor quality control. Avaya want's to be a software company at the expense of everything else. The company chose to shed 50% of the North American workforce and add them in India and Argentina. I predict that Avaya will be absorbed by Cisco. Cisco will take what it wants and shed the rest.

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.
