5-7 second delay before calling end can hear when picking up call with Polycom phone
When a call comes in from the Auto Attendant / Call Queue and the call is picked up on a Polycom phone there is a 5-7 second delay before the calling end can hear audio. This delay is pretty long and causes confusion, it should be 2 seconds at the most.

We have had this issue with AAs/CQs for 2+ years. The device type does not matter. We have tried Poly and Yealink devices along with softphones with the same significant delay issue. It is definitely an issue with Microsoft and their backend routing of AA/CQ calls. This issue occurred while AAs/CQs were in SfB Online as well, so they didn't change the architecture in Teams as they stated they were going to do. The issue lives on!

FYI this is not a phone-specific issue, and Microsoft has been working on a fix for this on the AA/CQ back-end in Teams.
Timeline was around the end of the year, so could speculate it's not far off. More details can be found here:

We've had the same issue and it's causing is to delay our Microsoft Teams rollout to 600 users. The users aren't the issue, it's switchboard where it's causing the issue.
There is a workaround, albeit nasty, if you change the call queue and create a user and set a forward to the selected users the pickup is instant.

Call Flow = Auto attendant to Call queue to the agent.
Customer reports with a yealink handset (as well as teams desktop client up to 10 second delay before both parties can actually hear each other.)

I was able to provide a workaround ...
I configured a second WAN connection on our firewall. this WAN is connected to a 4G modem. I then used some traffic shaping to route the voice VLAN over this new WAN connection to initiate the connection over 4G.
After that ... No more delay!
It seems like the PSTN calls on teams have this delay when routed over some ISP. I have other locations that have a different ISP and do not have the problem.

We're seeing the the same on Yealink T55, Windows App, and mobile app on both Android and iOS.

Same problem with Polycom VVX400, VVX600 Yealink T56 and Polycom trio 8800. this makes the Phone system "unusable" as a business solution. It also happens using the Teams app on Windows and on Android.

I'm experiencing the same issue with the Windows App. I'm evaluating Teams to replace our current VoIP system but the delay of 5 seconds to connect an incoming call and 7 seconds to resume the call from on-hold is a show stopper

Is there any update or response from Microsoft on this? Experiencing the same thing on Yealink phones over a year later.

This also happens using the Teams Windows App, shows the call as connecting for around 5s before audio is established. The same does not happen when the call is to an individual rather than queue. I have logged a support call with Microsoft.....

Seeing this issue with Yealink T55a's using Queue's and Auto Attendants, really poor user experience. Our agents have no idea when the call actually begins creating extended silences at the start of every call that make them seem unprofessional or distracted.
