Pros

There are a lot of really good people who work at Open Text. The atmosphere can be very informal and inviting. Free coffee.

Cons

There are a lot of little silos working independently and not enough collaboration or "big picture" thinking. Management will often lie or sugar coat communications with employees, like moving the date when compensation increases would occur and then saying that it was to align something or other, but it was obvious to most of us that it was to make the books look good for that quarter and to get out of paying the increased compensation for an additional 5 or 6 months. The company is in growing pains as it transitions from a small company to a big one. The bureaucracy can get a little thick.
