Pros

Great products and a comprehensive vision for a wide range of products including UC, CC, and Data. Huge services portfolio and customer base among the tops in all industries. A very solid and reliable set of products. Generally a place where everyone is helpful and tries to work together.

Cons

Products are supported and maintained forever, which hinders upgrades and refreshes. Pro Services are expensive and the delivery quality can be hit or miss and siloed among groups which struggle to work together. Sales management is numbers-focused almost to the exclusion of customer positioning and broadening reach within accounts.

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.
