Pros

Work from home, cell phone,

Cons

Honestly, I can’t wait until after the pandemic to leave. This company’s management is equivalent to a grade 12 thesis project. Every leader at Avaya should be looked into and their Amex should be audited, starting from the top. No one knows about Avaya, the company has no marketing no brand awareness, partners hate us. No one enjoys working here and everyone here is here because they’re waiting to retire and can’t leave because of pension. It is the most toxic environment I’ve ever been in. Avaya is not a leader in telephone and management has no idea what they’re doing.

Pros

There are only two good things about working at Avaya: working from home and there are some good people stuck there in dead end jobs.

Cons

I work in Professional Services and all management cares about is time reporting, expense reporting, adherence to useless forced training, and other administrative work. Little weight is put to the important stuff like quality of work and customer satisfaction. As a result, the creative thinkers who do high quality work either leave voluntarily or are forced out by management. What you're left with is hundreds of people who are only good at administrative tasks and that's what makes up the entire Avaya workforce. More and more jobs are being shipped to low cost staff in India and South America; you get what you pay for. The products have too many issues and the product documentation is lacking useful and contextual information. Product training for technical resources is non existent; instead we are forced to suffer through marketing and sales training and then expected to be product experts who know the ins and outs of the product and technical implementation. There’s no career development. Zero potential, zero growth, zero support. Work here if you want a dead end job and care very little about your career.

Pros

Working for an IT manufacturer gives you a window into a lot of different industries, public sector organizations and general economic insight.

Cons

Avaya specifically offers very little in the way of culture, professional development or anything that may generate a sense of pride and loyalty in its employees. As a young professional approaching 3 years with the company, I am feeling ever more anxious that I am wasting valuable "development" years with a company that has zero interest in investing in its people or "thinking big" about the future
