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.

Super flexible hours, basically unlimited PTO, and few micro-managers
Cons
Antiquated culture - might as well be the 80s in there. Very old workforce with no younger people or cross-training or innovation. CEOs and upper management have no clue how to keep up with competitors or manage company finances/debt. They've gone into bankruptcy twice while upper execs walk away with golden parachutes. Multiple promotions with the promise of a raise, but no actual raise after 3 years of verbal promises. Bosses and leadership are very out of touch with reality. They expect employees to pull off insane projects with zero resources and absolutely no regard for the work that actually has to be done, so expecting perfect execution inside of a month for a 6-month project that requires 2-3x the planned budget. Was laid off the day after labor day with 1 month's pay as payment for 8 years of service. They don't care at all about employees or their development or happiness.
