retail tax office associate team leader

Avaya

Dynamic and always cutting edge. Coworkers are diverse and provides a fresh outlook and a wealth of experience. 

The organisation is the best work culture which is results oriented and does not focus on micro-management of staff.

Most employees work as virtual office workers which allows for a lot of flexibility in the work home life balance. Travel is a strong requirement as most staff are spread across the Northern Hemisphere.

Avaya has a huge problem with their technology, they inherited the enterprise portfolio from Nortel and completely abandoned all of the positive benefits from the Nortel portfolio.  Avaya also did not properly incorporate and/or manage the Nortel Enterprise data portfolio.  Whereas Nortel's philosophy was the customer always came first, Avaya's was to try to swindle as much money from the customer as possible...and often by producing long, complicated and illegible quotes/proposals

Growth opportunity occurs as result of continuous restructuring.
Ongoing transformation and business direction pivots seemingly daily, but more likely monthly.
Very difficult culture to achieve business results.
Company is loaded with very bright and dedicated, hard working employees and even some managers but leadership waffles, is indecisive and is clearly focused on survival, which naturally creates a culture with no consideration for talent or retention.

Worked with some brilliant minds. The compensation and benefits were competitive. There were good technologies and high standards in place. The overall culture was work hard, provide rock solid code, and every once and a while escape to lunch/outing with your co-workers. Standard working hours.

Standard day: come in at 9, have scrum, work hard until 5, then enjoy the gym after work(not paid for).

focus of company is entirely on revenue, not customer satisfaction. Each employee group works against others in order to protect their own revenue results.  Lots of unnecessary processes, tracking, reporting diminishing time that customer-facing employees have to actually work with customers.  No training on new products so teams have to learn as they implement.  Pricing models are flawed.  No work-life balance.

Management was a joke -- they spend so much time posing and doing politics that all efforts are passed onto the teams. Top Managers also don't care / deal with non-managers. Terrible work experience.

I started my career here, Bill is manager that hire me. He is awesome man that understand and know how release good product. Jody is my team leader, i have learnt from him alot design pattern and software architect. Its stressful  at that moment because we have apple as our customer. But i really enjoy that time

Did nit enjoy my co workers 
They were stuck in the past not in the present and what’s changing out there. 
I hated the team. They were there fir so long they were stuck in the past and not what’s present and changing. 
Benefits were great , the management team was great , the staff was awful

Plagued by bureaucracy and silo'ed teams there was no place to go but down for this company. 
They had a good product but no management to backbone to push it forward.
Poor senior management that kept changing

There are a lot of new Platforms in Avaya which can give many chances to employees to grow their technical and troubleshooting skills. 
Everyday we get a chance to work with our deployment team where we can understand the concept how every product is working in call flow.
