Used to be an excellent company
Mar 25, 2023 - Business Development Manager in Miami, FLRecommendCEO ApprovalBusiness OutlookPros
Still within the fortune 100 companies supporting their communications and contact center infrastructure. Updating its technology to be cloud native for private and public cloud requirements.

Late in the market for cloud solutions on their top contact center business. Two chapter 11 in less than 10 years. Massive layoffs removed great talent. Channel ecosystem is suffering from several bad business decisions from previous CEO Lack of confidence from employees

Destination Place to Work - Some Day!
Mar 23, 2023 - Product Management Director in Morristown, NJRecommendCEO ApprovalBusiness OutlookPros
Financially, Avaya is coming out of bankruptcy as one of the most financially sound companies in the sector.
Cons
Shedding much of the talent and plans to continue to make way for a cultural change. Going to be a lot of pain over the next few+ years as the investments in AXP will become a market competitive offer.
- Former Employee★★★★★
Great recognition, but poor accounting and stock performance
Nov 8, 2022 - Customer Service ManagerRecommendCEO ApprovalBusiness OutlookPros
I have spent many years honing my call center skills, setting standards for remote call center agents, and initiating work-flow schemes for the effective performance of virtual teams. I have lead projects charged with constructing complex models for high-tech solutions and installation, with a focus on competitive prices. Within these positions, my focus has also always been on Customer Service excellence, Process Refinement and Tool Advancement. During my career, I’ve also worked within a technical contact center, utilizing the advanced customer satisfaction skills acquired from early AT&T training, and honed during my AT&T to Avaya career I will shine as a customer service representative as well
Cons
Sometimes managing restricts your ability to shine. You are measured based on the performance of your team. I was highly regarded in this role, but my passion was aroused most when I worked within project teams and planned for the future. As an individual contributor, I often lead the wave for modification of process, workflow and recognition. I missed these opportunities and felt under-utilized in this area.

Good Money, work from home
Cons
Lack product direction and absolutely no hesitation to cut labor costs due to mismanagement

Great Client list, but digging out of previous leadership blunders
Feb 22, 2023 - Global Marketing Manager in Durham, NCRecommendCEO ApprovalBusiness OutlookPros
Nice people, the new CEO has a great vision, but can't get past the debt the previous leadership left him.
Cons
The company is living off old technology, but clients don't want to move on because it works. They are trying to dig out of a hole and move to the cloud, but its going to be slow push up hill as competitors are moving fast in front of them.
- Former Employee, more than 8 years★★★★★
Avaya's work load balance
Jan 5, 2023 - Senior Director, Channel Sales in Miami, FLRecommendCEO ApprovalBusiness OutlookPros
Executive sponsorship, very close to the top decision makers at at company level WW. High visibility with the partner community. Tremendous opportunity with the large installed based. Partner base very loyal to the brand
Cons
There is an internal conflict between sales with the channel versus selling direct. Avaya competes head to head with their partner community. Lack of R&D investments have cause products misses on new features.

Poor management and no direction
Feb 23, 2023 - Material PlannerRecommendCEO ApprovalBusiness OutlookPros
Lots of great employees and a good work life balance when they offered remote hybrid environment.
Cons
Constantly changing business rules and partnerships. A carousel of managers coming in and out, giving different opinions and ideas. Still dependent on 20+ year old technology for revenue.
