Pros

Open Text is the market leader in Enterprise Content Management as a consequence of their years of acquisitions: Ixos, Gauss,Magellan, FirstClass, Vignette, etc.

Cons

Open Text assures its financial profitability following each acquisition by reducing headcount - a very common practice. Then come the ripple effects: after marketing is gone new leads dry up; after leads are gone new sales dry up; after new sales are gone product investment dries up; after product innovation is gone you're living on the maintenance & support annuity.

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!
