Pros

For over 16 years, I worked for "A Great Software" Company & have the T-Shirt to prove it. :) It was a smooth running company! A CEO who never failed to recognize ALL of us, the ones who made it happen - Sales, Engineering, Technical Support and Admin Staff - we were ALL part of making it happen - as human elements. Took early retirement - Life is Good Again!!

Cons

After the acquisition, it changed. We became cogs in a machine, easily replaceable. Little to no leadership and if so, often conflicting. It was like no one could/would make a decision.

Pros

Pros was that you had a job (and not for long if they find a way to outsource your position in the company).

Cons

Cons are so many to list, but from the leadership in this company being so out of touch with his/her employees, the restructuring done in their company to save some bucks on their end was crazy brutal, firing all of their talented workers to implement automated programs that did not function properly. Overall, horrible experience with OpenText, lies upon lies when it came to growth opportunities and keeping teams in the dark, no communication what so ever. Their business practices were just plain terrible.
