Pros

Good work/life balance I guess

Cons

You're probably reading this because OpenText just acquired your company. This is a pretty safe thing to assume, because that's all OpenText does, is acquire and cut costs. How do they cut costs? Well... - They lay off both the most recent hires and some senior people that were being paid the highest - They are very stingy with raises - Can't get travel approved if you're not senior management, even to go to a conference to learn something directly related to your job People who stayed after the acquisition were let go. They thought it couldn't happen to them. Well, it will. I'm personally looking for the exit.

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!
