Pros

Vacation package is pretty good with a Christmas shut-down. But see Cons...

Cons

Even though they offer a great vacation package and holiday shut down, you'll end up having to work. The pay is awful and there is currently a 2 year freeze on increases. Too many acquisitions that are not carefully planned out on a business prospective. The CEO does not care about the workers, he only cares about how much money he and the ELT get. I'm making less per paycheck every year for the last 3 years due to increased employee contributions for benefits and not getting any type of increase. Our 401K match has been decreased to 1% - what a JOKE! And I have always received a 4 or better on my reviews. Also, they do not classify job functions properly. After being here for almost 10 years, they continue to classify my job function as an M1, entry level. I'm far from entry level but this helps them justify the low salary!! More work, less pay, that's their motto. Sad because up until 3 years ago, OpenText was a great place to work.

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.
