Pros

Great people to work with, good work life balance (Subject to change in coming months).

Cons

If I wrote this review 1 year ago, I would not have a lot of complaints. New CEO = completely new culture. Unwilling to upskill current employees, they would rather lay off and hire new (and cheaper) graduates. Disgusting treatment of my former colleagues during layoffs (no notice, couriers showing up at people's houses to take laptops when employees were not notified of their employment termination) New CEO originally wanted us back onsite 5 days a week. I wouldn't be surprised if this idea is brought back again. New CEO keeps shouting about making Avaya a destination place to work, saying this repeatedly does not make it happen. Avaya is a sinking ship which I plan to hop off, I encourage people to spend their valuable time developing their careers at companies who will invest in them.

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.
