Business Outlook
Pros
Avaya has some amazingly brilliant engineers. In R&D, the company at least tends to explore new trends (though not always follow them). The compensation is acceptable. The atmosphere at the lower levels of R&D is very friendly, though quite busy.
Cons
Since the sale to private equity, Avaya has gutted its workforce in R&D. Projects now suffer from a lack of experienced talent. The company has moved to ruthlessly become profitable at the expense of long term growth and success. Morale is significantly lowered by constant layoffs. Decisions are often made by those who are not best qualified to make them.
