Pros

None whatsoever. I was part of an acquisition, and they laid off our IT department, and then gradually dismembered the rest of the organization, but they retained all of the male salesmen who are utterly worthless and devoid of any real knowledge or skills.

Cons

If you're acquired by OpenText, just do yourself a favor and quit. They support some of the worst environmental polluters and civil rights abusers on earth (Oil and Gas in Saudi Arabia and often brag about their relationship with the Saudi Crown Prince). They say they promote diversity, but for OpenText, that seems to only apply to gender, but it's just propaganda.

Pros

You get a paycheck. Some of the people are nice but don’t trust anyone.

Cons

Exec leadership is awful. Always putting out the positive party line but it is all lies. Products are so far behind competitors. No investment in product or marketing. Senior executive leadership team shuffles around their “good old boy” comrades to new roles instead of retiring them or holding them accountable. The internal politics with everyone back stabbing each other to manage up and keep their jobs. Leadership is just doing what the board chair tells them to do. It is all about self promotion vs doing the job. They like to blame the previous CEO but he has been gone a year and it has only gotten worse. OpenText likes to brand itself as top company to work for , I say STAY AWAY!
