Avaya – “Company lacks direction and leadership.”

Pros

Pay and the opportunity to work VO.

Cons

Consistant layoffs to achieve numbers. Too concerned about what Cisco is doing to be innovative.
Sending too many jobs overseas where there is no history of product knowledge to build on. More concerned with the numbers instead of customer or employee satisfaction. Upper management does not communicate well. Every quarter sees a new direction.

Advice to Senior Management

Listen to your people. Fire your accountants. Innovation will happen if you let it. Don't worry about Cisco, you're product can be better than theirs. Move headquarters from NJ to a place where the work actually gets done.
