Pros

Avaya has some good people and definitely has potential; if there is an opportunity to go public again this could be a positive. I believe the company has recently stabilized a little and maybe turning around for the better.

Cons

Private equity buyout and economic environment have led to excessive downsizing, offshoring, dramatic cost cutting. Constant restructuring and changes at senior leadership level make it difficult to get traction for any initiatives. Non "core" functions have been hit especially hard.

Pros

The company used to care about customers, but they removed all the sales people who actually visited and consulted with customers to save travel cost.

Cons

The company's newest CEO, Patrick, only cares about getting back to a Cybersecurity company as fast as possible. Can't sell the company fast enough, but buyers can't get past due diligence periods.
