Market leader in PBX and contact center software

Legacy Bell policies, strategies, technologies. Too many people hanging on 'till retirement. Too much red tape. Too much organizational structure and too deep management layer. Overlapping job functions, too many competing kingdoms.

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.
